Head Gaskets + REBUILD???
It appears I may (OK.. I DO!) .. need head gaskets??
If I do them.. shouldn't I seriously consider rebuilding or replacing with rebuilt engine!? I have 236K miles on my 1995 SVX .. .  If so.. Are there any good sources here? For rebuilding info.. parts/guidance .. OR probably better yet.. REBUILT ENGINE?  Thanks, Jim

Re: Head Gaskets + REBUILD???
I don't know about the USA, but in my country, the cost of that repair is considerably more than the cost of another SVX. So it would make more sense to buy a better SVX and keep your current one for spares.
If you have the time and tools and skill to do all the work yourself then maybe it's worthwhile.
