Subject:      Please help with head leaking question
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

Hey all,
Well my new Vw-remanufactured engine last exactly 3,900 miles before the passenger side head
gasket started leaking!!! The person i bought it from told me to re-torque the head bolts and see if it
stops.. is this normal to have to do this? Second.. if that does not fix it.. he want's me to pull the
head and replace the gasket! What is this going to do? Why would the one i put in not leak like the
one the builder put in? The heads are new AMC heads.... so i know they are not pitted.. what else
would cause the leak? I am ready to pull the engine and put in a Tiico conversion.. i am sick of this..
please send me any thoughts on this... The engine is out of warranty by 3 weeks so i have to tread
lightly on this...
Thank you everyone,
jesse
89 carat that is giving me an ulcer!
