Head gasket at No4 let go into the coolant = circuit so had a lovely compressor spraying coolant over everything via the cap. There was something odd I noticed when I was undoing the cylinder head = bolts.... some were not very tight and others were!.....100K ago we bought the car = with a blown head gasket, I pulled it down and had the head done up plus the turbo = kitted, new injectors etc etc....has been fine since till now.....when I installed the head I = carefully followed the instructions of torquing the head down then dial tensioning to the = correct figures....it was tight as I recall splitting the side out of a Rothenburger socket!.... I can't work out why some bolts weren't that tight?....they of course = may have stretched.... any clues as to what happens here?
