Re: Blown headgasket??? 200 83

posted by  someone claiming to be r haire on  Wed Dec 6 01:31 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Does it smell of antifeeze at the exhaust? Any traces of oil or extreme pressure in the coolant bootle? Remove all the sparkplugs and look for one that is very different from the other three, maybe cleaner. Lastly, a compression test is in order. I would not rush to conclude it is a head gasket without some recent overheating event, although repair is only a weekend and a $100 down the drain (OK maybe $400 if the head is warped) so it is not teh end of the brick.
