Re: (wmac)

are you sure its the head gasket and not the cam seal or anything else? check your coolant for oil just to make sure..

x2 pretty important, especially if your car overheated. i know you had a cooling problem a week or so again, which is why i mention that.

and make sure you bolted the head to specs, and that you replaced the camshaft seal. like the other guy said ^^^
