    This guy I know had a cutlass and he said he was running so much cr he had to replace head gaskets every month. I don't know about olds motors but that sounds really excessive. He must have been running like diesel cr.
    If I knew anything I'd be dangerous.

    When you say you used the blue gaskets, do you mean the plastic-coated garbage ones that GM sells? We've had two sets of them, both sets blew on the same hot day, just melted the coating.
