I know this is not much info to go on, but a CL 5000 diesel SOS, reportedly has a bad head gasket. Emailed the owner (who doesn't know the year but said it was a later model) to ask him about possible cavitation holes in cylinders. He says he doesn't know. He is sending pictures. How can one tell between the two problems? He says you can tell by opening it up. Of course, that's a little risky for me. He is also selling a earlier gas one with 8 speed tranny problems - broken shift fork and damaged gears. Again, no year and no pictures yet. He says he/they bought them for repair but now doesn't have the time. Any thoughts?
