You can't beat and nothing can replace that big fat smile on yer face though when you're thrown back in you're seat and all hell break's loose under the bonnet.
It's like a drug addiction only more expensive

rickbartlett

in my experience head pressure testing can show a problem but some cracks will only leak when the head is hot and the crack expands.

the original

please tell us why, struggling with something similar on mine at the moment. cheers

basic answer is as above
pressure testing will only show an obvious problem which you could see with your own eyes

rickbartlett

ive pressure tested the cooling system and its blowing strait out of number 2 cylinder with the plug out .engine hasnt been run at all

rickbartlett

just bin told cossie 205 blocks dont have liners so i take it they cant be f##ked then?

you can have liners fitted to a 205 block yes

if the head has been pressure tested and doesnt leak then it wont leak with you cold must be headgasket or more likely cracked cylinder bore leting water in.
