Well the wife overheated my 98 GS and the rear head (2,4,6) has low compression (60 psi) across the board. Anyone know if they sell a head gasket set and who would have the best prices. I would also need head bolts. I might change the timing chain and gears at the same time (137000 miles on the car). I noticed during disassembly that the exhaust manifold on the number 1,3,5 side is cracked. This is the second time that this has happened. Has anyone experienced this problem?
Thanks,
Jeff Rand
 
Just an update. Turns out both heads needed to be replaced. I purchased a complete engine from a wrecking yard and after a PITA install,life is good. I have the original complete engine (except for the heads) that I need to sell if anyone is interested.
