Still not fix! 850

Good point. I have neve had it done, but understand that sniffing for combusition products is SOP.

Another thought is a pressure test on the cooling system, with the engine both cold and hot. A good chance if there is a crack, this would be evident as slow leakdown on the coolant system pressure.

Maybe it is a part of an overall system check-over of the coolant syatem, ie pressure test, flush, operational check, gas detection.

It also comes back to the problem that started this all off - ie blown head gasket and ruptured radiator tank. There is a distinct possibility that there is an underlying issue with the block/head that only becomes apparent under certain conditions.
