Hey all.
So i might of cracked the head or blown the gasket. Was running without coolant for about 10kms at 100kmh, engine was steaming. Car is now drinking coolant at a level of 3 litres per 5kms, Huge amount of steam coming out of the exhaust. Now, i've rang HM Gems engines and they reckon i'm better off replacing the engine instead of just the head. Is this true or do they just want my money? Definately couldnt afford a new engine right now, if the car was running without coolant for 10kms, is that enough to stuff the bottom end? And if the head is OK and its just the gasket, would i even need to replace the head? Cheers!
