Hey guys,
I think I may have another blown head! I recently drove from Hobart to devonport and it ran quite hot. Not past the H but up there. I didn't like it and then once the car had cooled down I checked the radiator and it was quite foamy. Once on the other side of the bass straight I had another hour ish drive and discovered it wasnt over heating but there was a power lul at around 3000rpm.

Last symptom was white smoke when I started it up yesterday.

Any thoughts? Is anymore a mechanic or amiture mechanic that has time to have a little looksy? I'm down mount Eliza Way but willing to travel!

Many thanks
J

Mount Eliza- there's some 200b lovers from ozdat down there. Otherwise go see Tomo in Hastings, not too far from mt Eliza

How long are you in Melbourne for?

Re-torque the head bolts, then give it a compression test. That's all that's needed.

Head bolts should be retorq every 2 years to prevent head gasket problems. It's in the owner's manual maintainence schedule.

That's dd.
