For all the trouble these engines have on HG's-

Use only a current dealership sold headgasket. It's not worth doing again... if a dealer gasket leaks in 12 months, the repair is on MBUSA!!!

By the way "The head gasket leaked despite annual MB/distilled water coolant changes" - mercedes specifies normal drinking water. I think the buffering agents actually require some mineral content. Seen threads on it before.
