[QUOTE="azan23uk, post: 704547, member: 8654"] Hi Moots, yeah....I still can't believe it. Could my mechanic have missed something here? The pressure build up was massive...coolant practically "exploded" out of the expansion tank...sprays were up to 5 meters. I was standing at the front corner of the car (far corner away from the expansion tank) when he opened the expansion tank yesterdays morning...and I got sprays all over from my face and below. The car was left there at his workshop overnight after undergoing 1 day of test run (my mechanic drove it around all over PJ/KL area himself to do his errant). He also said he only experienced once in his 17 years of mechanic life that an M52/M54 block cracked. These are pretty hardy blocks he said but head cracks are normal. Could he overlooked the headers' cracks? [/QUOTE]
