need advice

Post by Locknut »

G'day all
I need some advice on what i think is my head(s) gasket have gone again.
The heads were reco'd just before xmass last year and have done about 15500k's since,and a new water pump abot 4mths ago new thermo stat last week.
Well for the last couple of weeks im hearing what sounds like bubbles going through the heater core in the cabin ( i heard this last time the heads whent) im not really useing a lot of water the level stays just under the radiator neck.No water in the oil,no visable signs of coolent leaking.
I have run the motor with the radiator cap off and after the motor heats up i get big bubbles say every 1 min if i rev the motor and watch the coolent it looks very airated.
I have had a dude from a radiator joint test it for C02 in the radiator and he says its fine??and have also tacken it back to the mechanic who did the job and he cant explain whats going on???????
Do i take the plunge and do the heads again ( this time i will do it)
i know you guys just love this stuff so any advice would be great
