Bieri Auto, Also in Toronto replaced my cylinder head at 50000 km in 1991 after the service bulletin was
issued.
I paid for nothing. My car showed no signs of high oil consumption or any other performance problem that could
be related to the bad cylinder head.
The car was under warranty at the time.
Those of you in the US Northeest should call Luciano at West End and see if he can help you. I am sure he would
not mind a line up at his garage.
