The car has, from what I've been told, 145k miles on the engine; however, the odometer states +/- 125k miles. Is it easy to roll the odometer forward without destroying it???

What is your opinion(s) about a power flush of the radiator and transmission? My mechanic has a machine that supposedly removes 98%-100% of old antifreeze, transmission fluid, flushes the torque converter, a slew of other lines, along with any deposits on the transmission valves so that the transmission fluid remains red in color as opposed to brown. He said that it powers 16-17 quarts of through the system while shifting going through all of the gears, then refills with good fluid.

How can I tell when I beginning to have head gasket problems? What are the tell tell signs?

Oh by the way, thank you for your feedback.
