You could always do one final test, if you can find someone with a combustion leak tester and test your coolant for exhaust gases?

I have just done this yesterday. Head-gasket is definitely a gonner or on its way out anyway.. I hope to get the head off today and then send it off for skimming :)

I take it from that she's definitely leaking as you expected then?

 

Hopefully its not warped.

Yes, doesn't matter if the head is warped as it's getting skimmed and I got 3 spares anyway :lol:

Yeah, suppose it depends how much it needs skimming! Least you've got spares! 

 

Wheels make it look completely different! Would you have them that colour?

That's true.. I'm still waiting for the head-gasket kit to arrive!

I quite like the colour as they or graphite grey would look good 👌

Shame about the hg man.. But good job to get stuck into. 170k on the clock bound to have a few perturbanceS!

Exactly what I thought. And the poor girl has been abused by previous owners :(

There is something inherently cool about slammed 'decks. Looks wicked on the slips mate.

Totally agree haha. Will be raised on the rear a tad. I quite like the a$$ up & face down look ;)
