Well it looks like new head gaskets are in my future. I haven't pulled the plugs yet to verify but I noticed this weekend the exhaust has a sweet antifreeze smell to it. The coolant looks normal and the level looks OK. I haven't done a head gasket change before. So I have questions. My D1 has 126,000 miles on it. While I have the heads off what other repairs should I do? Valve job? I was planning on changing the camshaft, timing gears and chain, tappets, rods and lifters next year. If I change the valves and head gaskets this year can I wait till next year for the other list of repairs without damaging the valves?
I could use alittle advice from those have done this before.
