Do either of them overheat?
Are you losing water, might just need a good bleed.

Re: think my headgasket has gone
doesnt seem to over heat at all
the only thing is the rev3 put the low oil warning light on after running for a bit

If it was the yellow one and your oil level is o.k then ignore it they are xxxx.

Take the bulb out.
Re: think my headgasket has gone
but if it is the red one ya losing oil pressure so don't run her. this would also point at hg failure! are they metal hg's?
I suggest a compression test and maybe a leak down test

It's pressure in the turbo, level in the NA

Re: think my headgasket has gone
Sorry to hijack, I think my head gasket is on the way out too after reading this.
She's never overheated but i have seen a puddle of coolant on the floor before now. I have lots of air coming from the oil filler cap when running and a tiny bit of mayonnaise on the cap too (Although I do a lot of extremely short journeys) but no bubbles in the coolant. (Rev 1 N/A)
Can you just change the head gasket without having it shimmed?
Thanks
Steve

Re: think my headgasket has gone
yes you can but I would suggest getting your head pressure checked and valve clearences checked also. it just makes sence while it is off! you may need to face the head and block aswell if using a metal head gasket or it will just go again. it all depends on what you find
sorry to here about your woes

Re: think my headgasket has gone
Good idea to have it all checked out. Would you recommend a metal one then?
Not to worry, there are plenty of engines kicking about
Thanks for your help!!

Re: think my headgasket has gone
if u want more boost in future
but pls get a pro to advise u bout that, call andy at momentum motorsport
but....... u will need ur block out to face it! while you have the head off inspect your cylinder walls for dammaged and that they are round

Cool, I was thinking of taking it down to Luke at Pacific Works as he is close to me.
Thanks again for your help. It can be easy to get a flaming for asking too much!!
