What things can you check to see if your head gasket is blown?
#compression check, which may not show bad.
#oil in h20.
#h2o in oil.
#compression into cooling jacket (pressure check of cooling system should see this, plus compression check).
My car runs fine, but I am still waiting on parts from BMW (elbow on back of head is leaking, plus Im doing a tune up). PO did overheat car, but do not know to what extent. Just curious if anyone else knows of anything else I should check.
Thanks,
Ken
