Am about to take on a repair I really dont want to but have no choice 500 miles from home if I am going to get back. Dont think car will make it the way it is.

Headgasket is beginning to leak badly on my 84 245Ti. Has all the telltale signs including rough idle at start up, slight emulsion in crankcase, water vapor out the tail pipe, high pressure in the coolant tank and loss of coolant with no visible leaks.

Am going to get a headgasket kit if I can find one. Any other pieces/seals that do not come with the kit I will need to obtain that I havent thought of, e.g., o-ring seal for oil return pipe, timing belt, etc. Left the Bentley manual at home too :<...

Torque setting for the head bolts?

Thanks

Robert
