does sound like a head gasket issue, what are your coolant levels like? Best bet would be a compression test to confirm

dansti300

coolent levels have gone down alot of water come out of sump
will do compresion test
what else could it be as it just had rebuild with steel head gasket done bout 170 miles

best bet is speak with whoever did the gaskets, sounds like an issue when they have put the heads back. Were the heads skimmed before new gaskets were added?

dansti300

yes i had them both skimmed mate is there any other way the water could get in
thanks dan

if you have no compression on 3 of the cylinders that has your answer! there must be a leak there.. most likely the head gaskets or the heads not being completely true. Best bet is get it taken back to whoever did it.
Good luck

it was my mate who done it he is a mechanic gonna take it back out this weekend and get new gaskets i got tripple layer steel ones so could nt have failed in that short time did not over heat, , can t understand how he put them in wrong cos he done a few scoobys before.
