Head gasket time I think

[mxracer14]

Well I think I blew a headgasket. Had to top off the coolant tank the other day but didnt think much of it. Start it this morning and heard gurgling coming from the fan area, never heard that before. Pop the hood and check the coolant and its bubbling

squeeze the top rad hose and its hard....

Doesnt look like oil and coolant has mixed though.
A guy should be able to tell which side is leaking buy which side the bubbles are coming from in the crossover with the t-stat removed right?

What are your thoughts from that blurb?

I think your chasing the right idea. No $ spent to pull that cross over.

Exactly, a buddy is lending me his pressure tester tonight so I may have some more results to post tonight.

Alternately, remove the glowplugs and using a penlight and inspection mirror, look for antifreeze inside the cylinders.

don't forget to remove your serpentine belt otherwise you'll just have your water pump pushing around the coolant. I've got to get around to doing mine also... I've been waiting for good weather and I think it's warm enough here now.
