| 1989 Mercedes 420 SEL |
A few months ago I bought a 1989 Mercedes 420 SEL, and it was very
clean and well maintained course, with service records. However, there
is a leak is very weak in the cylinder head gasket, which is hardly noticeable. Compression and leak down tests show no problems. It
took two mechanics. They wanted $ 4,000 to fix it and encouraged in
this regard. The other wanted $ 2800 and says there is no pain – only to
see the oil and antifreeze, and keep your eye on the indicators. How
serious is this problem? No antifreeze or water in oil or other problems
and works very well. How long can I take it? If Mercedes head gaskets known minor leaks are not a big deal? I can not afford to fix it, but whether it is serious a problem.
