[Huskymaniac]

It has been two years with the SVX. I am now familiar with what is normal for this car and it has been a comfortable daily driver. In fact, I think the car likes to be driven and hates to sit more than a couple of days. The biggest lesson learned is to not listen to people who say "mine did that and it was a ______". At least, don't listen to them if they haven't shown to know what they are talking about. And it has been a challenge to determine who the real experts are and to what extent. I would again lke to thank dcarb and Trevor for being voices of reason when I first posted that my temp gauge was bouncing. Two years later and it is still rock solid near its typical reading after simply replacing the temperature sender. While the head gaskets could spring a leak tomorrow, it is clear that the head gasket was fine and that the problem was a simple and cheap part.

One thing that I find to be a shame is that some of the most knowledgeable people are the most quiet.

Now I am onto replacing my timing belt, water pump, struts and rear seats.......
