Subject:      back to vanagon content a headgasket question
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Nearly half of the last digest was about scams and
virus, nonvanagon stuff enough to blow a gasket.
Speaking of gaskets I have a question about the
failure and symptoms of the green gasket that goes
around the cylinder.   It is clear that the beefy
black gaskets keep the coolant in the engine and the
metal rings keep the compression in chamber but what
about the punny little green job and the blue? one
that goes around the cylinder.   There must be a lot
of left over lower rubber rings as nobody can use
those unless you pull the engine.   What are the early
symptoms when those rubber rings fail?   Would the
lower one cause coolant in the oil? and the upper one
cause overheating of the coolant?   Just trying to get
back to the business of vanagons.   gary
