[Shotimes] bad headgasket

[Ron Porter]

I would certainly suspect that the car, at one point, overheated and
(temporarily or permanently) warped the head, thereby FUBARing the gasket.

Head gaskets just don't fail under normal conditions, except for a
manufacturing defect soon after production.

Plus, I have a LOT more faith in Yamahas ability to built an engine
correctly from the factory.

A question for the list :

As many motors that I have worked on I have never heard of a head gasket
going bad and leaking unless the motor got real hot.

Have a cust who has a pin whole leak on a 3.2 motor ATX car that has  pin
hole leak coming from the rear head gasket and IS definitly leaking coolant.

Customer is constantly filling up radiator but at no time does he or his
wife ever recall the car seriously over heating. 

It has full power still and runs smooth.
