Re: Do I have a metal head gasket
Just had a good look around my engine from the top and underneath, I can't find where you're meant to look, any pointers? Under the car? Passenger or drivers side?

Re: Do I have a metal head gasket
lol the big thing at the back of the engine
Re: Do I have a metal head gasket
I think I was looking in the right place it's just covered in 20 years worth of oil and dirt and can't see a thing
