Hey guys,
So I've been losing coolant recently, and after ruling out the cooling system as the fault, it all points towards the head gasket being on it's way out. The car has just ticked over 205,000k's so I'm wondering if there's any work I should do to the engine while it's being ripped apart. Also, given that the stock head gaskets aren't known to be that strong, is there any after market option that is both cheaper and stronger? I remember tradewind selling a kit for the 3.0 for a lot less than the OEM kit price.
Lastly, do any of you have any recommendations as to where to actually get the job done? I'm in SE Melbourne, but willing to travel to the northern suburbs to somewhere reputable, given the price is right (I'm a poor uni student )
So far I'm looking at Phil Lowe, Got it rex and Paul Tran Garage.
Cheers for your advice!
