My '87 GL runs beautifully and I am =
confident in
using it as a daily driver and as a long trip vehicle. It does =
leak
coolant however, leaving small circular puddles wherever it sits for a =
while. It
appears inevitable that I will need at least a head gasket job at some =
point in
the future. I would like to consider all options ranging from =
simply a
gasket job, possibly head replacements also, to an engine
replacement. I believe that the lower end of my engine is good so =
that a
mid-level job may be all that I will do. I have read many accounts =
of
engine swaps and should I go that route I am leaning towards a Subaru
replacement engine. What I would appreciate from other list =
members is the
typical cost associated with each level of work. If you have had =
some type
of head gasket, head replacement. engine replacement, or engine swap =
work done
recently and are willing to share the cost incurred for this work I =
would
appreciate hearing from you. I am aware that there will be =
regional
differences for labor costs but believe the range of costs will be =
helpful to me
in deciding which way to go. Sam
