Anybody tell me ways of checking for blown head gasket or valve wear.

you can grab a cheap engine compression gauge from supercheap and see if all cylinders have similar compression. Just take a plug out, stick it in and turn the motor over a couple of revolutions.

Thanks!

Can you answer any of my other qestions? See recent posts.

as said above or check for bubbles in the water when the engines running and check under your oil cap for whitish milky stuff

There's no milky stuff anywhere just oil and water where it should be. I'll check for bubbles though.

My other questions are in seperate posts in the mini mod index.
I thought I was being smart by not putting too many questions in the one post.

Cheers
