tb42 head problems

My patrol is pumping water out of my radiator on start up so i'm gathering I have done a head gasket but i have been told it is more likely the head itself. Is this a common thing for there to be head problems rather then gaskets or is it just crap I have been told. Any help would be great cheers.

have you just fitted the lift in this if so try tightening all your bolts on your drag link and all steering arms. I had a similar problem in an 80 series and this was the problem when fitted the bolts had not ben tightened enough.

try with replacing your slave cylinder first you may find that is the problem. Try it as a cheap solution first before taking the box out to find that your clutch is fine.
