Goes into reverse just as easy again. Now time to tackle the other issues. 1990 4x4 4runner 3.0L V6 the mystical two Door unibody New issue [Re: 90twodoorrunner] #772195 01/24/07 12:22 AM Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 30 Nor-Cal 9 90twodoorrunner OP Getting the Wheeling Fever Well, now I think I found a leak in the head gasket. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Is there any way I can tell for sure if the head gasket is leaking or not? My father who was a mechanic for many years says he thinks he remebers some sort of tool. (and not just a compression test, but that would tell me also whouldnt it??? ) he said something about a tube that would fill up with smoke or something. Anyone have any Ideas.

Your dad should know what that is. Compression test checks the bottom end; the leakdown test checks the top. Also, your other non-invasive test is to get the coolant tested for the presence of exhaust gases. http://www.walkablecommunities.org/ Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner.

You will need to rent or borrow a compressor to do the leakdown if you don't have one. http://www.walkablecommunities.org/ Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner.
