Nope. I drive my Matrix much more mildly than the Paseo. I do P&G, but with the engine on costing. Nothing that could effect the head gasket. That is about as advanced as it gets.


I'll be doing the head gasket and whatever other work is needed, so its only parts and time thankfully. The bad thing is my wife uses the Matrix for hauling stuff around for work. Poor her, she'll have to cram her stuff in the Paseo for a week or so while the head is getting checked/resurfaced.
