When the infamous M104 leaking head gasket is properly replaced, is the problem solved? Or is there a history of recurrance.

ARJAY, did you have a c-280
repaired or r u just asking?
milage on car (curious)
I think in archives somebody
had to get gasket done twice over but
it may have been due to inadequate job
making for premature failure.

It is a '95 C280. The gasket was replaced at 30,500 miles. It now has 85,500 and no problems. Just curious to know if it may happen again. I couldn't locate information in the archives that directly answered this question, although it may be there somewhere.

gaskets supposed to be improves, however have seen the new ones leak also, but not as much.
