Comments: To: Mark Vermillion <markvermillion@EARTHLINK.NET>

<snip> 87' GL that has a recurrent problem with the pass. side head
gasket. Problem is, it won't stay intact. I just replaced it for the
fourth time <snip>

Could it be that someone has "Shaved the mating surface of that head to
remove pits ... therefore causing too great a space between the head and
water jacket?
