A friends GAGT overheated and sprung some coolant leaks in the crappy LIM gasket and also the head gasket. He told me he limped it home, stoping to top off the coolant a few times going from chicago to rolling meadows, so for 30 miles or so. What Im left wondering is what to do about the heads. They are aluminum. Are aluminum heads more or less susseptible to warping?

I think I should at least had some place look to see if they are warped. Is there any method I could try to ghetto test them for warpage myself?

If I had to have them redecked, or what ever its called, how much would I be looking at spending? wheres a local place that does this?

Thats a lot of questions :lol: hopefully you guys know answers to a few......thanks
