also, there is no point changing a head gasket just because its done 40k

if your in doubt about the gasket then just get a compression test done

right the gunk will be condensation as the oil warms up. Mine does this every winter and disappears when weather gets warmer. u get loads of gunk if u only do short runs

I'll have it looked into. Thanks for the advice guys, havnt really a clue under the bonnet, ICE is my vice. Really wanna learn at some point.

good on ya man get stuck in, engine flush goes in ya oil ya drian the oil out then flush it through, gasket does seem likely though

Tried redex before or somethin. took out the spark plugs and squirted it in there, and then added the rest into the fuel. Is this the same stuff?

I was thinking of replacing the head gasket soon cos the cars gone about 40,000 miles on this one. all of which i proudly put on myself., hee hee.

looks like the early signs of head gasket faliure

engine flush - about a fiver from halfords then oil change!! :thumbs:

Topped up the oil today and noticed loads of a pale coloured gunk around the rim of the hole.

I wanna clear this out completely. what way do i go about it?
