Re: Head gasket job... D.I.Y.??? 200 90

Hi Don and thanks.

After reading your post, I think I can do the work but will find qualified help for the job.

"Why are you changing the gasket?"

I posted a week ago about having an oily sludge in the coolant overflow tank. The car added about 5000km (3000 miles) since it's complete coolant flush. It's still nice and green exept for the oil floating on it. (±¼ inch). Most responces were that the head gasket was going bad. Is this also your opinion? Others said it could be ATF from the tranny because I did'nt mention it is manual...

Again, thank you Mr. Foster for sharing your vast experience, (or are you just a 240 aholic?)

Yves.
