Yup 113XXX, I weighed heavily between fixing or getting another car I figured at the end it would be cheaper to fix this then get another car

How much for that job? That sounds expensive.

3k for machined heads, new gaskets, fixing my timing chain leaks(upper) and fixing my "weep" hole leak. I think that's a pretty good price. Your leak behind the tranny is quite scary and very new to me

3k is a good price for all that work. Where did it leak from heads? This is not normal that head gaskets leak at this milage.

No no the seals were bad but the head gaskets are being replaced in the process

Hi,

Sorry for a stupid question, but which seals are you talking about? The ones responsible for "weep" hole leak?

Is so, you may want to see this:

OK. That makes sense. As I said that was a stupid question ;-)
Usually valve seals are going bad after the engine was overheated.
