Hi there,

we have recently changed the head gasket on my car. We had the head skimmed and pressure tested and got the thumbs up. We put it all back together but now there is pressure building up in the water tank / we have checked all the pipes and the radiator. Changed the water pump etc so the only thing my mechanic can think is that the head gasket is on the wrong way round, is that possible? but it is not p***ing oil or anything like that, in fact it runs ok (not like we have been out in it, other than to take it for its MOT which it passed) the problem is that the water tank gets hot and starts bubbling over, like i said checked all the pipes, flushed it with a hose pipe etc but its like there is not enough pressure to send the water round. we are currently stripping down and checking the head gasket again but was wandering if anyone has had this problem before or knows of a solution :-)

Many Thanks
