Default Headgasket skeezed out on me last night

...but on the plus side, my coolant reservoir is now full of delicious oily caramel. Mmm mmm!

I didnt think that motor or head was too old? I was talking with Russ and he didnt know if it was the 4kq. Lemme know if you need anything Max.

Default Will do...

...perhaps have a HG laying around? Haha. The motor and head aren't old at all, but these things happen sometimes. The coolant level was full, but I noticed the gauge was reading higher than usual. Then, last night, the heater wouldn't blow any heat even with the gauge over halfway. After that, I got a nice steamy surprise. I guess there was a blockage somewhere.

Default Thats odd

Yeah, def sounds like blockage of some sorts
No 4cyl gaskets unfortunately, only a 5cyl NA one thats sitting back in Indiana.
Ive never really done much work on the 4cyl in my old Audi's, never had to. Did a radiator, coolant tank, starter (PITA!!) and some other smaller stuff.
I bet the 4cyl HG is pretty simple to do, lots of room!
