my head gasket went on my mark 5 xr3i today on my way to work........ and after a phone call to a local garage i was told that if they did do the head gasket it would still go again?? or not work at all... the situation is as follows it blew all the oil out of the air filter emptied the header tank and filled the exhaust with water... if anyone could help me out or tell me if its a new head gasket or new engine i would much appreciate it...

 

does anyone know if this is romours or rubbish because if u can get away with changing the head gasket i will give it a go... i mean ive done head gaskets on 8 valves and pushrod engines but have yet to do a 16valve

 

??? anyone???
