An 18 year D1 1995 owner that is starting work on the head gaskets. I am posting to the D2 forum because it seems most of the D1's have been converted, parted out or scrapped.

D2's on the other hand seem to be entering the stage widespread gasket failure at around 125k miles and the consensus seems to be repair either by fire sale to a subsequent owner or the current owner.

The problem has been with me since the 70's and the blown gasket on my 1968 Dauntless V6 Buick supplied 231 ci in the Jeep CJ5. With the Disco and Google there is so much more info available on the diagnosis, cause and fix.

However, I am not finding much info on the success of the repairs. As most of the failures seem to be occurring around the 125k mark, what is the experience with the repaired engines? Are owners getting 50k, 75k miles? Or enough to sell it?

Would like to here some history?

Thanks,
John
