>>Head gasket change, do I "have to" get the head shaved???<< 200 90

posted by  someone claiming to be Yves near Montréal, formerly Yves on  Wed May 16 03:24 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hi.

I will be changing the head gasket on my 244. (b230, 210k miles, m47, timing belt changed 15k miles back)

In order to save time and money, I'd like to know if shaving the head is absolutly necessary. Could the gasket show a sign of failure that would indicate that the head has'nt warped???

Also, I have a set of gaskets including the obvious to change, such as:

-Exhaust manifold gasket

-Intake gasket

-Valve cover gasket

There are 18 or so gaskets left in the kit, having the top off the engine should I start changing all the seals and gaskets I can get to???

Thank you bricksters!
