johnegg Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 i'm not very familiar with this engine, not common in the US. but i don't think they have the head gasket failure problem that the ej25s have. so i would flush the coolant, make sure it is properly filled and watch it. maybe replace the cap. it may be the gaskets but i wouldn't jump to that conclusion.

daleyswanson Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 If you have exhaust bubbling in your coolant then your HGs are done. I have a hard time understanding what you are trying to type, but that is what I took away from this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
