Originally posted by foamypirate View PostReplacing head gaskets is not preventative maintenance, it's a waste of money. In this case, since the OP is seeing coolant in his oil, it's necessary, but HG's are definitely not a normal maintenance item, preventative or otherwise.
I'm doing mine because boost will kill it in a day.No fat dudes, car will scrape. Katie

Of course a head gasket is not a "normal" maintenance item, but neither is pulling a whole engine to replace nearly all of the seals. Is it "Preventative" ? Of course, because you never know who put the last one in, and if they used a quality part of not. If you want something to last, you have to build it right the first time!
As for the OP if he still has any doubts, replacing the parts you listed in your first post is definatly do-able without pulling the engine (head-gasket included if you so choose), but it would be considerably easier to do with the engine out (assuming getting the engine out is something you can tackle). Not to mention you could at least get the block nice and clean, and replace additional seals, bearings etc. with a little more work. Its all up to how much work your willing to put into it, however pulling an engine just to replace a timing belt, water pump, and valve cover gasket would be ridiculous! If your planning on pulling the engine, plan on doing a full rebuild to at least make it worth your time and effortLast edited by ON_N20; 03-20-2010, 12:18 AM.ON_N20Nitrous = Been there. Turbo = Now.
