Hello all, New to the forum. My Aunt has a 92 svx. Well maintained 100k miles. She has been informed by the service dept. that she needs a head gasket replacement. Some coolant leaking, no compression loss. My question is this. Would a retorque instead be enough? At $3,500 dollars for a replacement head gasket it just seems prohibitive. The tech is suggesting its a 300k motor, but if you need a head gasket every 100k she might want to just trade it in? Is re torque of cyl. head a part of normal maintenance on a boxer motor? Thanks in advance.
