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?
