Head Gaskit on a Sportrak

Forum: 

Ive had a fair few problem with my coolant system after I put a Branch through the Rad, greenlaning. Ive had constant problems with overheating and waterleaks, Ive replaced a few pipes that burst, Ive checked the thermostat that stoped the overheating.

Now I'm lossing water with no visable leaks. On restart from hot very poor tickover. It sounds like it missing sometime but does really lose power. I'm Guessing at head gaskit. Can anyone give a conformation or another ideas?

Oh and is there anything I should now if Im going to tackle it myself.

Sounds pretty likely. Fill

Sounds pretty likely.

Fill up with fresh water and run for a while. Drain, and look for traces of oil. Also make sure all joints are tight and the rad. cap is sealing OK...It'll boil right off if not pressurised.
