<> Two friends of mine own 1979 Datsun 310GX's. Both have had their head gaskets blow recently. This car has the 1397cc engine. Another friend has a 1979 210 which also has the 1397cc engine, and he had to replace his head gasket also. Since I own a 1979 Datsun 310GX, I am curious to know if anyone else who owns this car has had head gasket (or other) problems...If possible, I would like to avoid having the same problems happen to me. I have always taken very good care of it, since it was new...The car has never overheated, and I also check the torque on the head bolts whenever I adjust the valves.... Are there any other causes of blown head gaskets that I should watch out for? Dennis -- Call-Me: Dennis Gibbs, Univ. of Md. Comp. Sci. Center.
