Paudman Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Not a head gasket problem but a slight problem all the same; the tubes get loose over the years and the only thing to do is to take the head off and flatten each one out using a suitable flare so that they're a snug fit again. You can try various oil-resistant sealants as a stop-gap but it's doing a proper neat-looking job that makes it difficult.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
