Message: [QUOTE="Rich Rohrich, post: 1458753, member: 16241"] A blown head gasket will leak compression pressure into the cooling system and over pressurize it. So yes this is a potentially serious problem, but one that is easy to check. You can connect a radiator pressure tester to the radiator in place of the cap with the engine running. If the pressure climbs then there is a good chance the head gasket is leaking. Head gasket leaks are fairly common if the head has been removed and the original head bolts are reused. [/QUOTE]
