Hi guys, my friend who has no internet access at the moment due to working away would like me to ask anyone here what are the common symptons of a blown head gasket on his Vz ute.
It's a 5.7L v8, he has no water coming from the tailpipes, but has water flowing from the overflow pipe and bubbling in the coolant bottle. Car ran rough for a couple of seconds then went to 3/4 on the temp gauge, followed by engine light. No hoses are ruptured or in poor condition.
I though i would ask here because of the experience in these forums is good.
It may not even be a blown head gasket, but he wants me to ask.
Thanks all.
Mike.
