mmmm
ive put a 406 1.9td engine in a talbot express.
i got it runninf thanks to a few folks on here...Thankyou!!
now i drove it today for the first time, garagre and back ( about 2 miles) to fill it with diesel( bloody price of it )
then an hour later took it for a drive, reasonably hill went for about 5 miles then .............
is it smok?
is it steam?
think( hope) its sream, get the fire extinguisher just in case.
its steam and lots of it, not a blown hose as i expected , but just a severly pressurised system?
i left it for about 20 minutes, but no inclination of starting again.
so im wondering
why?
is it an airlock ?
the fact it wont even try and start, im concerned theres water where there shouldnt be.... head gasket?
would an airlock, leading to overheat, blow te head gasket,
HELP
head gasket? or airlock??

It would still start unless it was really bad (cracked head) or hydraulic'ed (unlikely)
Does it turn over fine ? , if so does it sound 'normal' when turning ie not very fast or really really slow ?

Notwithstanding the non-start, it does terribly look like head gasket
These engines just will not start without glowplugs, full stop. So if the glowplug controller was saturated this may explain...
I'm afraid the gurgling noises also point to a head gasket too...
