Hi Gus,
Got the original convertion wrong. more like $1800. I have been assured that everything that neads to be done. Will be done. The engine only has 45,000 miles on it. A bit early for head gaskets in my opinion. But have bubbles coming through the cooling system. Any idea's ? or advice.
Thanks for quick responce

Hi Guy's
Thanks for input. At first I thought it was A over heating problem. The upper radiator hose blew. After replacing, I found other leeks in cooling system. I was advised to Start engine from cold with cooant system full and open. Was told to watch for bubbles rising when engine gets to running tempreture. Apparently The bubbles indicate Exaust gasses escaping into cooling system. Looks like I will have to bite the bullet.
Thanks again

If you are getting bubbles in the coolant with the engine running, get the gaskets changed quick, and I would not drive the car anymore. If exhaust can get into the coolant, coolant can get back into the cylinders and the oil. Don't wait, enough coolant in the oil can wipe out your bearings and you could lose the engine. The price you got quoted is a good one, go...go..go.
