Hey Volks, It appears that the coolant leak at the head nut on my truck may be a crack, but it looses so little that I've been driving it no problem and haven't added coolant for weeks now..but just in case... I bought a set of low miles AMC heads. The guy said 40K miles or so. Hmmmm. When I had the heads stripped, 3 exhaust valve seats "going away". So we pressure tested them, good. But they will need 4 new valves and 4 new seats and probably guides. I'm deciding what brand of valves to get. Got recommendations? TRW seem expensive. Kim |
