Diagnosis before parts
Making the right repair decision.
Coolant loss, white smoke and overheating do not prove a failed head gasket by themselves. Leaks, thermostats, fans, pumps and restricted circulation can create similar symptoms.
Testing the cooling system and combustion gases helps establish the cause. If head removal is justified, inspection and pressure testing determine whether repair is technically and financially sensible.
