The reason i am taking the head off is that she is putting compression in the rad and there was no thermostat. Put a new thermostat in and still the same problem. As soon as i start the engine the radiator pressurizes.
Oh dear, head gasket, liner moved or........ lets not go there. she'll be fine. Mark
