Another Engine Pull.....coolant leak.

Well, not an M5. 22 year old JD 445. Gasket gave up.

So votes....should I mess with the head gaskets? Or leave well enough alone, no oil leaks.

If I had to replace the cam gear (older version is PLASTIC, sounds like BMW engineering LOL), I would have to pull the cam and then adjust the clearance. So when there replacing the tap its would be next and then check pistons etc.

I think replace the gasket and get the hell out. LOL
