hI CARLOS, When i had similar symptoms with by beloved 9000t it truned out to be far worse and i actually had a cracked cylinder head. My invoice for the work done was 1500 pounds about 3000 us dollars, hope you have better luck than me. If you are a horse power juncky like me while the head is of you could always go crazy and put on gas flowed large valve head, you know just for a laugh. good luck cheers brett Eu <carlosarazevedoNOcaSPAMnopsam.telepac.pt.invalid> wrote in message news:08cfbe62.0d67026bnopsamex0103-023.remarq.com... > My 90' 9000T16 apparently has a bad head gasket.
