What are the actual symptoms? Yopu somtimes get a bit of emulsification (mayo) when you run it for short periods...Originally Posted by ant_tay
if it was h/g - you would know about it!
its got a miss fire which if you give it some you can feel that one cyl kick in and out realy quite hessitant but the compression on each cyl is very close to 200psi and i have noticed a drop of water level in my header tank
when I test drove a certain XE'd nova it had a misfire... turned out to be a combo of HG and cracked (not porous)ness.
im planing on doing the head gasket (thats what i think it is) and ill get the head presure tested just to be on the safe side
imho if its not a costcast head I'd do the crack repair anyway even if its not gone.
Pressure testing isnt exactly cheap :s
They usually crack after being re-fitted/torqued down anyway, so as above get the head sleeved if its coming off anyway.
may sound stupid but what do you mean by sleeved
search here or mog for joff's porous head fix.
might even be in the articles section.. (if not then find the png link and I'll stick it in)
Heres the MIGCLICKY of Joffs porous article.
