Re-reading the original symptoms....it sounds even less like HG.....and far more like standard exhaust output from an efficient burn with a large exhaust setup and ceramic cats.
It it was a failure of the water to bore seals (fire rings) then the coolant would be very excessively pressurised with something letting go (i.e. the pressure relief valve on the coolant tank cap)
Agreed, and it hasn't

Lol....see those perforations in the internals.....its those that link the two together via the box......
On the case of the headgasket, I would want to see a coolant pressure test with the plenum and inlet stripped out in order to see further what issues might be there.
Remember that the coolant system should be presurised.
Normal pressure as far as im concerned

The only thought left is a parcial mis fuel
say about 5 litres of diesel in a full tank of petrol might just fit the bil
Because it cant burn completely you would get it smoke.
A spark plug check would prove or dis prove wether a mis fuel has taken place, the plugs would be black but dry.
Doesn't explain the water loss though :-/

Ok, i've just been and had a look at this and the symtoms are as follows,
Header tank is clear so its not oil cooler, thats that one out of the way.
Its losing water slowly, no sign of leaks from what i can see, dip stick and tube are clear, filler cap has mayo along with filler neck but no further down, its not breathing heavy from either of these. Exhaust is throwing out extra vapour as far as im concerned although not excessive, there is a slight smell of fuel from the header tank but im not sure if its just me coz im looking for it :-/
Im not convinced its HG, but there are some small signs of it.
Opinions please

QuoteQuoteQuoteQuoteQuoteIm in Cov, if you want me to have a look
Cars getting on a bit, a bit scabby in parts, but I love it. Should I get rid or have a go at the head gasket. Could i do it?. These are the questions I need to answer, but your offer would be very appreciated.
No harm in having a look, see if we can eliminate a few things
Im in Holbrooks, you anywhere near? if you are i'll pm you my address if you can get here one day
I'm over by the airport, but cars in shilton at the moment. could see if it'll get there without getting too hot. How do we pass phone numbers or e-mail addresses?.
