Pressure tester pic.....you can get one on eBay pretty cheap.

What ya do is install it in place of the rad cap and pump it up to cap rated pressure....then watch to see if pressure falls.

If pressure falls, look for leak....If pressure falls, but no leak, pull plugs and crank engine by hand to see if coolant squirts out of sparky plug holes.

DO NOT PUMP PRESSURE HIGHER THAN STOCK RAD CAP RATING or you can blow up yer radiator.

If no pressure loss in first tests, then leave installed and start engine....as engine warms, if pressure shoots up above cap rating, then it's the head gasket or cracked head...just doesn't show untill heated up.

P.S. Please don't call me no "sweet man" like you did 4Crawler <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
