Well there not hard or costly to do are they like some vehicles are?

Ever thought how man K series engine's where made and compare the amount of head gasket's which actually failed to the number of engine's built you would be very surprised??

There not that costly and they are really easy, however i wouldnt be surprised if over 50% have failed, every experianced mechanic in the trade has done there fair share of them and I know of one specialist in my local area that would carry out 5 or 6+ per week. Is it any surprise that Rover/MG went bust and had to sell up to china????
