Subject: Re: Blown 4.5 head gasket and bubbles in the water.
Yes David, this is a similar problem I had a year or 2 ago. I think there may be a slight "design fault" with the LG45 cap and you need to be absolutely certain that it goes down flat onto the neck - with a decent cork or similar seal. I solved my problem by paying particular attention to the cap and also to the seal. Also, as you probably know, only fill up the header tank inside to a level which is equivalent to the top edge of the badge (fixed outside).
