Well, it appears that I may have coolant leaking from the head gasket. The engine is a remanufactured core that has about 30K on it (some pretty tough miles, I admit), so I think it still has some life in it. Questions are: How much will the total cost of the job cost (ball park) for replacing the head gasket? Are there other things that I should have done while (I assume) the engine is out? Are the 2.1 L engines in the 86 and newer Westies that much better that I should consider "upgrading" to a newer model year Westy? Thanks in advance. jh 83.5 WBX Westy
