Recently, had my cars intake gasket replaced due to a vac leak. Mechanic said to monitor my car because he thinks there could be a blown head gasket. Been monitoring, only thing is little group of bubbles when I take off the radiator cap, then they disappear. Is it the gasket?

Oil is good, not milky; spark plugs are clean; coolant level is top; no white smoke from exhaust. Car feels good.

Let me know. Want to prevent anything worse if it is

 

sounds fine to me, did you try re-torquing the head studs? by the way i'm from guam too

 

do a leak down test

 

@Lostsoulsevo what's up man... Nice to see people from Guam on the forums. It's a rare sight. As for retorquing the studs, ill do that first thing tomorrow morning.

@k_sheanh91 leak down test done. That's how I found the vacuum link. Heard something about a compression test, is that recommended? What if I bleed the radiator, will that help?

Let me know. Thanks for the quick replies.

 

You sure you did a leak down and not a boost leak test? A leak down will tell you if each cylinder is holding pressure.

 

I hope this video helps....
