its only lost the one, since i owned it, and it didn't exactly blow the gasket. it started leaking coolant from one or two of the head studs. i think the head was over-torqued. its been all good for three years now, with some pretty hard abuse. the bottom end was renewed before i bought it and i checked it last fall, when my wife cracked the oil pan hitting a piece of cement and it looked new still.

$50 for the chips and LBE seemed too good to miss.

the other two head gaskets i've done were on my '83 and my friend's '85.5

what is that skeletal pain called where the ribs meet the sternum. i've got some going on and it hurts like hell!
