So he just replaced the gasket on one side? Did they even take the heads to be machined?

If he merely replaced the one bad gasket and put it back together, it may be running fine for now, but may not be for long.

Sounds like a mere open it up put in the one side that was bad and slap it back together. Wonder how long that will last?

Maybe he put some extra liquid gasket in it to help make up for that slight warpage.
