Re: Help please..new zuk's sick already
Cheers guys..he definitely said head gasket and I think that's probably what he was saying was 'valve stem seals'..he's said 3 days or so in the shop so I'm guessing there's quite a lot to dismantle..thanks so much for the advice!!

Get some pics from the garage too, while I'm there..they've usually...
