headgasket ??? |
|
|
Think i know the answer but just want to check , few days ago , my auto
choke fucked up and i got the weber conversion kit fitted , on the way
back from the garage , I noticed a bit of white smoke and just thought
it was the carb working out the cleaning crap , drove to work , only a
couple of miles and then home on the night, again only a couple of miles
Went to work in it the next day and was checking it over at the dinner
time and noticed it was running a little hot , I filled up the radiator
and let it settle until the night time , I was on my wa out of town , 10
miles to be exact and noticed the temp was going up , it got to the red
so stuck it in neutral and it slowly cooled down a little , got going
again only to see it go high. pulled over and let the engine cool it
self down , and no added no water to radiator when i noticed it was
enmpty
When breakdown got here , both noticed that the dip stick covered in
white stuff , suggesting head gasket gone !! - Is this always the case
???
Thanks

That set of symptoms does indicate a head gasket failure. |
