Thanks MB,any thing I can do to avoid a headgasket I wil try to keep the M104 cooler.
I no they leak oil not compression but perhaps cooler oil will help.

Heat isn't the problem, the length of the engine is.
99.9% of M104 headgasket issues are oil leaks after 1993.
Movement of the aluminum head on the cast iron block & high oil pressure causes those leaks.
