Head Gasket - Block Tester instructions

[dans]

Hi all,

Got a possible suspect head gasket, as per this lotuselancentral.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11991&start=0

I've now got some Tester Fluid but no instruction on what to do with it.

Can anyone give an idea of what quantity of Tester Fluid to mix with what quantity of Coolant.
Any more info and tips much appreciated!

Cheers,
Dan

i seen them do it on Pinky but don`t know how much fluid they used
Are there no markings on the unit?

At the garage it looked like it was filled roughly to half way (there must be an indication mark) then placed over the expansion tank then sqeeze the bulb to draw in some air then wait for to see if it changes colour and i`m sure the engine was running at the time

Think Da-Pinky would be the man to ask, there must be some type of instruction on the net

Thanks Monty, strangely haven't been able to find anything on the web yet.

I've only got a bottle of the fluid, not the actual bulb thing!

Did find some useful info, but not detailed

Yeah you need the full kit

So it does look like you have the car running and up to temp

I remember Sinclaires telling me this at Donington.

Dan,

I've got a 'bulb' you can borrow if you want.

I'm in Wokingham

Thanks for the offer Jim but I suspect I should just stop being tight and get my wallet to get my own!!
