You could do a compression test to determine whether it's head or manifold.

Welcome to the forum.
First thing I'd do is screw out the plugs and inspect each plug - do a GOOGLE for what to look for (sparkplug colour). This will tell you if coolant is leaking into the combustion chambers.
Does it use any coolant?

hi i have started pulling the engine down after work last nite to see if it is a manifold gasket but yes it was using coolant but car ran fine an wasnt blowing any water out of the radiator so hopefully its nothing to bad fined out in the next few days.

no water or oil in the cylinders took the manifold off today looks awful gasket is crackedin a few places so just gona decide whether to do the head gasket why i have the manifold fold off as well saves time later if it ever does go cos the car does have high ks

its most likely the inlets if they look bad i wouldnt bother with the head gaskets unles you are keen and have the tools time and materials may as well drop the valves out and give them a lap with some paste if you pull the heads and slap some valve stem seals in too

got it apart it was the manifold gasket i have decided to do the head gaskets why i have it pulled down hopefully get a fewmore ks out of the old girl thanks for the help everyone.
