Thread: Headgasket YAY

Great news epic , what an epic,, just for your reference there are no valves to speak of in the injectors , but we know what you mean

Yeah haha i dont know what to call em haha. Cars going good now. The bolt that covers the crank locking hole is missing though. So might see if can locate one from somewhere

There is no bolt Epic!


It is as you found it,

Thanks pippin. The saga continues :, ( cooked its self towing. Cruising along fine. Then no power. Then i pull over and turn off. Smells like on fire. Over pressurized. Bubbling but no coolant out. I think my old cap is still on it ao ill change back to new one. Radiator might be blocked. Guage did not move until turned ign on after. So just git car back good and the nightmare keeps chasing me im very upset as its always been reliable and this is doing my head in. Head was pressure checked too.

I really do wonder about the head, it may have a crack. What just happened is symptomatic of a cracked head and I know that from experience. If changing the cap makes no difference which I doubt you should seriously consider that you have a stuffed head.
Good luck
Nick

Yeah if its stuffed then im not too impressed with the place that checked and tested it

Don't panic just yet , did you refill coolant by lifting the coolant overflow and removing the bleed valve on the top hose till it flowed coolant with no air bubbles when you did the head , if so , did you change thermostat?

It could be an air bubble. Going to rebleed tomorrow. Normally use bleed screw and have had no issues previously. But have not bled system that way. The coolant didnt spit out or change levels like before it would push it out
