Default !!Blown Head Gasket Advice!!

If you have blown your head gasket, do not hesitate to take action. If you wait to pull the head you risk destroying your block from rust.

This is 6 days later after a blown head gasket. Be wise, pull the head immediately.

Wow... that looks like an engine that had no coolant in it at all, just water! Normally, coolant won't let it get that way... not in 6 days, anyhow.

I drove for quite bit longer than six days with a blown head gasket, and my block and pistons sure did not look anything like that.
