G'day I have searched but still don't feel I'm across everything. I have 2005 BF Egas, it's my first Falcon, so I'm not that familiar with them.
I am pretty sure I have blown a head gasket (morning start a clunk) and then it starts at second go, and is using a bit of water, not huge amounts but noticeable. I'm thinking about doing myself. Head gasket (Payen Head Gasket # AE5850) kit with bolts around $150. Is there a pictorial how to, I couldn't find one. Any other thread you could point me to for instructions or advice? Thanks Darren |

And get your coolant tested for CO Carbon Monoxide.
Better to know for sure instead of assuming - you'll be p****d to find later you've spent all that time on a needless job.

two separate cylinders, in line with each other filled with a special liquid, uses a plunger type thing to suck the air out of the radiator/header tank. if carbon monoxide is present it changes the colour of the liquid
