vtec2011 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Shame your original project thread went all t*ts up but I didn't forget this MB6 Good your car flew through the MOT and the wheels are looking nice, especially on silver! What did you lower your car on and how low? Looks like a perfect drop for my MB3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nairnster Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 It gets worse, looks like the headgasket is on its way Coolant loss from reservoir, slight white smoke when revved, no signs of leaks. Will have to take car off the road, don't want to risk blowing it. Gonna do the head myself, thinking I need a headgasket set, new head bolts, new coolant, may as well replace thermostat, oil change whilst at it. Any reason I couldn't do this in a day on the drive?

seanmb6vti Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Try get a few opinions first mate. These engines as we all know are strong if looked after. Got anyone who can test for compression? Is the oil gunked up check cap? Maybe a blocked rad. Just giving you a few ideas before thinking the worse. Good luck though keep us informed.
