well since adding anti freeze to my system nearly 2 months ago. what hasnt failed. new water pump done. new water hoses to an from turbo. top an bottom rad hoses. heater hoses done. reversed flushed both radiator an heater core, which i must say greatly improved the heater. in general the water is cold by the time it gets to bottom of radiator after an hour open road driving. temp needle has never gone above half way. even in summer half hour sitting in traffic. I noticed last week water coming from the head gasket, under intake manifold side of motor. between 1 an 2 piston, and between 3 an 4. i tryed some head gasket repair radiator additive, 70 odd bucks wasted, an this hasnt worked only blocked heater an radiator all up again. head has never been off the motor. so questions are this. should i even try to torque the head bolts to see if this stops the issue? given that i believe i,ll be needing new hew gasket. i can see the 3 holes in the side of gasket indiacateing that it is 1.70mm. are there any issues with using a the 1.60mm gasket?
No officer i wasn,t slideways i think you was seeing things sir
