Subject: Re: 16/80 head gasket problems
Hi Chris
When the head was removed was there any sign of water
mark in the bore. If you havent removed the head yet, make
up a presure test adaptor out of an old spark plug, to screw
into the head and conect to your air line. Put the car in top gear with test cylinder at compresion TDC, hand brake on.
Make sure the radiator is filled to the top, and put as much presure as you can into the cylinder and watch the rad. If you have a CO2 bottle this will give you greater presure.
