well if you get a compression test done and it aint roughly correct then you can take those results back to the garage that replaced the original gasket and ask what da fuk is going on! | |

yer wot im asking is --- if i take it to another garage, and get a pressure test done. And the measurements on each cylinder are different, or whatever. will that show that the head gasket is bust, and that they have not actually done what i paid for i.e. new head. | |

have they damaged your thermostat when removing the head - did they replace al lthe head blots with new ones - cause if not these are all possible causes | |

might be an airlock in the cooling system, run some radiator flush through it, may help. | |

they said they tested and my head was gone. And had to send it off and wait 24hours for it to come back. Got a new water pump btw. | |
