I just got my car back from dealearship (I know that is a bad word in this place) and they replaced the head gaskets. When the heads were pulled off, they found that the pushrods were rubbing. Anyone else know about this?

If you are talking about head gaskets on the 02 what caused them to have to be replaced

The head gaskets were "seeping" is what I would call it. It looked like a green mold around where the head meets the block. As to shaving, I dont know what was rubbing, I think it is where the pushrods go to the rocker arms. That is the only logical place for them to change anything. I will call and see if they will tell me.
