A little over two years ago my car needed a blown head gasket replaced. The heads were removed and fixed and new valve cover gaskets were used. At the same time the timing belt and the gaskets there were replaced. They, along with the oil pan, are now leaking. The same mechanic who did the work two years ago said they all needed to be replaced.
valve cover 253
Oil pan 280
front seals w/ timing belt 401
Should the gaskets all need to be replaced after two years when the originals lasted for 8 years? Is there that much vairability in gasket quality to cause this problem? What shuld I do; how should I proceed with this guy?
