Countach QV #GLA12997
My car was always running to hot, the more rpm the hotter it got, after changing the radiator fans, removing the thermostat a CO Leak test brought the certainty that one head gasket was shot.
Finally I decided to have it fixed and will use the opportunity to improve/replace certain aged parts after almost 20 years of my car's life.
