I replaced the head gasket over Christmas. The head was cleaned and pressure tested and everything was fine. There is no wear at all on the liners even at 170k miles. Relatively straightforward job with no complications and went back together as it should. I drove it about 50 miles to confirm that there was no coolant loss and now it tucked up in a Carcoon for the rest of the winter.

That is great news. I know it isn't a popular engine, but from what I have been hearing recently, they do seem to be tuff old things.
