Mechanic's tip
Symptoms include sweet-smelling exhaust, coolant in the oil, rough idle, or unexplained coolant loss with no visible external leak. A gasket set from a quality brand (Fel-Pro, Victor Reinz) costs $25–80 — don't let a shop charge you for an expensive OEM gasket on a straightforward application. Most of the cost is labor.
