urgent help, rolled lux

Post by chris_02 »

ive got a 3litre turbo lux. i tipped it over and it sat there for three hours. i
have taken the glow plugs out and wound all the oil out, now a day after its fixed, the radiator is being pressurised, forcing all the coolant into the resevoir and out the overflow. could this only be caused by a blown head gasket? any feedback will do
