Interesting that he would say that. Did he find cracks in your head?
Out of curiosity (to anyone), do 92 heads differ than any other magnum head?
On a related, but probably not helpful note... over the weekend I
fixed a gushing coolant leak that I've had since December ('94
magnum). Lately I've been losing about as much coolant as you do. I
was thinking a blown gasket or something cracked (externally... not
internally) because I couldn't see the leak, but it gushed out when
hot. After finally pulling the accessories out, I found it was just a
hole in the water pump to intake hose. No cracked heads as far as I
can tell. I retain coolant once again.
I'm interested to know if these heads are actually prone to cracks or
that your mechanic is just on crack.

diagnosis though)
