hi,
I'm getting my 3.2 freshened. the 3.2's have no head gaskets. my machinist recomended machining the cylinders so that C2 type gaskets could be used. At first I thought ok, but later reconsidered because I dont recall head leaks to be a problem with 3.2's. I just took apart 2 3.2's - both had top ends done at some point in their lives and neither had this mod done. Anyone have knowledge of this? tia Bryan |

3.2 are pretty much bulletproof
only trouble they have are the valveguides, which usually wear out because the originals are too soft replacing the headstuds "while you're in there" might be a good idea I haven't heard of many breaking on the 3.2 (yet), but the SC's are breaking them on a regular basis now, so it's prolly just a matter of time... |
