Head Gasket or Cracked Head
« on: January 27, 2007, 10:28:13 PM »
My M42 is burning lot of coolant.  I have to fill the radiator every three days or so.  When driving, I see a lot of smoke (steam) coming out of the exhaust pipe.  No water in oil.

How can I be sure whether this is cracked head or warped head gasket.

Thanks

your gonna have to go down in there and see.  It could be one or the other, or both if you are unlucky ;)
