I've spoken to the guy I bought it off and he insists that its not the head gasket.
I've checked the usual symptoms (oil looks fine, no loss of coolant, heaters work fine) so I'm at a loss. Is it the head gasket or something else? I have noticed that the temp gauge doesn't go above 1/4 for some reason.
I've used a rad sealant and a catalytic cleaner so far but nothing has changed.
Can anyone offer their ideas and thoughts please.
Thanks guys
I had some smoke on high revs, changed pcv filter,easy to do and no more smoke.
