how often headgaskets

[rnoswal]

Good, unless the one sent is bad too. Usually you can count on replacing the original head gasket at around 100K anyway. It would be cheaper, or a lot less work to get the seller to pay for at least the gaskets. Find out what it is going to cost to replace the engines with the shipping and maybe you can work out something. Like I said, you are going to have to change the head gasket eventually anyway, so better now than later.
