[QUOTE="lane34, post: 444020, member: 20653"] Hi! Simple tips to inspect head gasket failure that cause by Engine Overheating. 1) Run the Engine for 5 min to get the temperature up. 2) Stop the Engine and wait for a few minutes and make sure that is no pressure sign from the radiator. 3) Keep it safe and caution before open the radiator cap. If you can see that is something like water boil pressure out , stop and let the pressure release. 4)After you open out the radiator cap and check the water level. If the water good enough, that's is fine. 5) Ask someone to crank the engine. IF YOU CAN SEE THE WATER SPLASHING OUT WITH PRESSURE FROM THE RADIATOR DURING ENGINE CRANKING .... CONFIRM !!! mean THAT YOU ENGINE HEAD GASKET IS BLOW OUT. 6)The only way to solve the problem...(TOP SERVICE THE ENGINE). REMOVE the CYLINDER HEAD and REPLACE A NEW TOP GASKET. 7) Inspect cylinder Head condition, If bend !! The CYLINDER HEAD need to machine out for the surface skimming. Regards. [/QUOTE]
