Was in my local oil and filter place yesterday and noticed a 'new to them' 60th anniversary LC had replaced their old 1999 LC. When I asked them inside they told me the head gasket went in their old one and it over heated. When they were investigating the problem their mechanic said some of the head bolts were loose. This is the second case of a head gasket problem I've heard of recently in these 3'0 TD engines.
Does anyone know if this is a common problem?
Also what is the correct cold torque setting for the head bolts?
How often should these get a rad flush and a coolant change?
Meanwhile keep an eye on the temp gauge in this 30 deg heat.
