>>Compression is fine, no oil or water in water and oil. <<

What are the symptoms that indicate you should remove the head? Good Comp and no oil-water mixing sounds like head is OK, to me.

>>So since my car is 22 years of age I should replace the head casket just to be sure? <<

This is one of theose places where the old gasket is junk. ALWAYS use a new head basket.

Good Luck,

Bob
