which is worse...

bubbles in the radiator

or a while frothy residue

i'd say both aren't exactly good... but it usually means head gasket am i right?

i got a g180w by the way...

thanks people

Head gasket is my first guess. But if u r the unluckiest person at the moment, u may have a cracked bore/cylinder.
Surprised

( You better hope it's just a head gasket for your sake and your wallets.

Have fun finding a head gasket for a G180w since no dealer supports it Sad

Isn't that all the excuse you could possibly need for a nice copper headgasket?

adam i take it copper gaskets are custom made yes?

any other advantages over a standard gasket?

thanks mate

Yeah custom made unless your motor is pretty common... try ridgecrest engineering from (very bad) memory

They can withstand higher combustion pressures, are re-usable and are available in different thicknesses.
