Test For A Cracked Cylinder Head or Head Gasket. Perform The Bottle Test or Bubble Test. - Duration: 7:30. Adept Ape 69,009 views. Sep 18, 2014 - Hi all I appears I have a head gasket/cylinder head issue. I want to know. Thread: AMC head for Prado (series 90 KZ-TE). Came back positive and they sent the head off for pressure testing, which apparently was cracked. ![]() I went to change the glow plugs in my lux tonight and noticed what looked like coolant pooled around my 4th glow plug, the exposed threads looked a little corroded too. I had been told by Toyota a while back that they had detected a fault in one of my cylinders, and they suspected it might be cracked. Not long after that I went to another mechanic for a chat and he reckoned if it was cracked it would spew coolant when you pop the cap off the radiator when it's hot - it doesn't. Also had my buggered radiator replaced by a specialist, who ran a pressure test when he replaced it and said it seemed fine. It's getting progressively more difficult to start though on cold mornings, I know one of the plugs has dragged the others down, but seeing this has got me worried. It doesn't blow any white smoke ( that I've noticed), doesn't lose coolant at a great rate of knots, and the oil and water are fine (not milky). I couldn't get the glow plugs out cuz all the injector pipes were in the way of my spanner. What do you guys reckon I should do? Maybe pulling the dodgy plug for a look would be the obvious answer. Can you get the head X rayed? What kind of money would I be looking at to get the tests done?? Chances are unfortunately it will be cracked,,,we used to do lots of them still do a few,,,,the 3L opposed to the 1kz's normally crack because they have been hot where as the 1kz can just let go,,,normally in a pre combustion chamber,,,and even when you pressure test them can be hard to pick up. Tk check will pick it up combustion issues most of the time,,,but from the sounds you have more a coolant prob,,, on saying that there is a chance it is only a blown head gasket but you really need to get the head off and get it checked,,you can normally see if the 3l's are cracked they go between the intake and exhaust seat or a fine crack from the pre combustion chamber. If it is cracked,,,the best bet is a new head and then you need to get a changeover done which is removing valve gear,,,valves and springs etc and getting them changed over into your new head and geting the shim tapppets set,,,this needs to be done by a machine shop,,,if you get the head off,,,,goood guys in taupo are Henson and murray,,,talk to Brian or scott If you have any worries with parts or any other questions pm me. Haha all good. If it isn't as bad as it could be I'll be happy. Really don't want to have to pay for a new head and everything that goes with it. To clarify, I saw what looked like a green pool of liquid behind my 4th glow plug, and some corrosion on the exposed part of the glow plug and immediately thought 'fuck my life'. Starcraft 2 wings of liberty razor1911 crack only. I couldn't get the glow plugs out to replace them cuz the damn injector pipes are in the way. The manual makes it sound like a piece of piss to do, till you end up having to pull heaps of shit apart just to get a screw driver where it needs to go. Hi beavis, the joy of motor vehicles 95% of the time you will know you have a cracked head or blowen gasket by the test mentioned earlyer in the posts by running with cap off, if it blowen you will get a fountain out the radiator, also had one case that the crack was by an exhaust valve with flooded the exhaust but again was easy to tell becauce toyota didnt make a steam powered 3L you also shouldnt need to take injector pipes off, did a 3l hilux last week and got them in,once you get that intake pipe off and the cover that sits on the rocker cover it a piece of piss from there. You shouldnt lose any coolant. Almost every vehicle will crack its head if you cook it. The main reason we see is blocked radiators or generally poor condition of coolant system. Bigger exhaust always helps get rid of the heat particularly in turboed motors. Situs web melayani pelacakan nomer hp. If you do need to replace the head do yourself a favor and stick with a genuine Toyota head. See too many aftermarket soft heads or incorrectly machined heads that cause no end of trouble and the genuine heads are usually only a few hundred more dollars anyway.
