Real world experience. My brother's Westy blew a right side gasket. He took it to the dealer to have it replaced under warranty. I told him that he needed to tell them to do BOTH at the same time. He did'nt listen, and right after the warranty expired, the other head leaked. Just like a worn pair of shoes- one may get a hole first, but they are both worn out. Robert 1982 Westfalia
