Well... replaced the exhaust, clutch, and alternator so far in my 91 Vanagon. Now I noticed the drivers side head gasket is dripping antifreeze. I guess it's time to do the gasket. I'm new to this problem so what should I expect to pay for a set of complete heads in case mine need to be machined? I figure I should buy a set to swap in for a quicker repair, but will have the old set machined for back ups. I'm assuming I shouldn't drive the Vanagon till it's been fixed or can I get away with a little driving till I find new heads? It's dripping very slowly and not overheating. No fluid in the oil so far. I noticed some used ones on ebay, is this asking for trouble? Thanks for the advice, BTW - anyone have a set of heads I can buy for my 2.1?
