    You may get better advice by checking with the Pegueot guys. There's a fairly active Peugeot list on yahoo groups..

    Hello:

    You need to be sure that it is the head gasket and not the gasket(s) at the bottom(s) of the cylinder liner(s). I know you need to be careful removing the heads on these cars so that the cylinder liner gaskets are not disturbed. You may want to consider timing belt chains at the same time, given your mileage. In fact, you may want to consider looking for a good used B280F... I don't know about doing one or both-- I'm sure somebody will speak up who knows more than me...

    Good luck!
