head mount
« on: March 20, 2014, 08:29:52 pm »
OK I've been reading online where the factory head brace/mount can cause the head gasket to go bad and to take them off. My head gasket was leaking where the brace would be. I ordered and replaced old gasket with new o.e.m my question is do I put brace back on or leave it off?This is on a 87 lt250.
