Recommendation/Instructions:
Metro Detroit Dealers Only:
Engineering is currently looking for vehicles in the "Metro Detroit" (Southeast Michigan) area that have been diagnosed as needing one or both cylinder head gaskets replaced. Dealers in the "Metro Detroit" area that have a vehicle that requires a head
gasket(s) be replaced should contact Jim Kelly at (586) 492-5612 before performing any disassembly. He will assist in making arrangements for Engineering to review the vehicle at your Metro Detroit area location.

with your repairs as normal.
Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
