Hi all, I am located in Northern Virginia, and my 2015 XK has a blown head gasket, the car overheated and by the time I pulled into a station the gasket was blown (Oil in the coolant reservoir). I am trying to locate a good independent to have the head done, trying to stay away from the dealer. Any guidance is appreciated.
Thanks
Ken

 

Check the block for warpage before doing the head. On these motors, when the head warps, so does the block on most occasions.

 

man you gotta keep your coolant checked on your car at all times.I always check mine atleast once a week or right before i take it on long drives that's an hour away or more

 

The next one I get will have a readable dash display, an analog temperature and oil pressure gauge and no sticky control buttons, and looking forward to it.

 

These are old standard features and an easier way of doing this instead of the XK letting you know at the very last second that something is going bad.But I don't mind doing it the old fashion way unless it was super hard where you have to be very educated to just do preventative maintenance.Now that would be a pain in the you know what
