sory guys bit of a novice here. I was just wondering after reading this what is the main reson behined head gasket failure?
Mud-muncher1:
I'd have to say lack of fluid in the cooling system or possibly a water leak would be one of the biggest reasons but like all things, it comes down to loads of different factors.

I've had at least 3 different 300 heads skimmed - one of them my own - and never had a problem with them afterwards.
What causes head gasket failure?
Usually overheating or incorrect fitting - as to what causes the overheating..... Water leak, no colant, blocked rad, low oil pressure, etc. etc. etc.... take your pick............!
