Two friends of mine own 1979 Datsun 310GX's.  Both have had their head gaskets
blow recently.  This car has the 1397cc engine.  Another friend has a 1979 210
which also has the 1397cc engine, and he had to replace his head gasket  also.

Since I own a 1979 Datsun 310GX,  I  am  curious to  know if  anyone else  who
owns this car has had head gasket (or other) problems...If possible,  I  would
like to avoid having the same problems happen to me.  I have always taken very
good care of it, since it was new...The car has never overheated, and  I  also
check the torque on the head bolts whenever I adjust the valves.... Are  there
any other causes of blown head gaskets that I should watch out for?
