Re: engine oil leak advice

[DNK006@aol.com]

My first head-gasket job was on a 1.6L.  We had the head professionally 
rebuilt and ground.  The difficult steps incude (but not limited to) removing 
the exhaust manifold (rusty bolts) and removing the intake (bolts in very odd 
locations).  If the exhaust bolts are really rusted, take it to a shop.  Try 
to remove the exposed bolts before making a decision, they can be a real 
pain!  Check for warpage.  And remember, make no compramise with a good 
torque wrench!
Oil leaking from the head-gasket is a rare problem.  Check other locations 
first!  sometimes the exposed gasket collects oils and makes a visible line, 
this has and continues to happen to me.
