hey guys after on going problem with coolant tank bubbling and so forth my head gasket let go for the second time in about 9 months
i spoke to a different mechanic who preformed a hydrocarbon test in my overflow tank and it showed that there was 1450ppm in the overflow tank itself. he told me there should only be bout 30-40 max. im getting the current hed pressure tested and cracked tested and if it is ok he will put it back on the car $650 with new coolant, plugs graphite gasket ect. if not he will replace the head for $950 just wanting to know if that is too much or not cheers brendan
