Hey guys Headgasket went on my car so a friend is doing it for me! He has now told me to get it crack tested as he doesn't like where the head has blown or something like that! What's the worst case scenario now? Head comes back cracked? That mean it can't be fixed and I need a new head? I'm not mechanically minded so any response would be great! Thanks guys ________________________________________ bloooobirds |

You should get the head skimmed while it's off though, to make sure you have a good, flat face on it. ________________________________________ Rich |

take it to south wales pistons  make sure the crank is not moved when the head is off as its an alloy block with liners, you'll damage the liner seals doing so as the head clamps them in place. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

I was definitely getting it skimmed anyway as like you said if it's off may aswell do it! How often do they crack or Isit very rare and I'm worrying about nothing? ________________________________________ bloooobirds |
