Engine Mechanical problem
1995 Chevy Cavalier 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

Because of a coolant leak in the front of the engine, I was told the head gasket needed replacing. Shortly after the work was completed, i brought the car back to the repair shop because of it "shakeing". I was advised that the "head" is cracked and needed to be replaced. Is this coincidence that the head gasket and head needed to be replaced within six weeks of each other. Thank you for your reply!
