I will post pics of a couple blown headgaskets tomorrow

 

what if I just have a tiny leak? I think thats what normally happens with mine.

 

me too

 

every time ive had a headgasket go, the one sympton has always been an hard (pressurized) upper radiator hose even if nothing else showed it.

ive also seen 2 of the plastic topped radiators melt the seat just under the pressure release cap from steam blowing past due to head gasket pressurizing. theyll never seal the cap again. junk

 

well - got car running, after i prolly caught "nemonia" and frostbite
now so much coolant/oil in pan the return line cant well...return oil so its comin ot the intake side of the hairdryer... - now to do an oil change.. hopefully i didnt blow the seals
illlet ya know when i warm up

 

what did u change to , cometic or oem?

 

from cometic to golden eagle 84mm.... looks 100x better... the cometic looked like a toy and paper compared to this.. good luck to me

 

golden eagle is just an oem right??? they dont make thicker gaskets huh....
