G'day , Have just acquired another 99 WF 1300 Festiva in pretty clean condition for its age and only 128000 on the clock .. Unfortunately it has a blown head gasket from the previous owner over heating it twice .. The car still starts easy but if left running will heat up pretty quick . Has the lovely caramel oil in the water overflow bottle and from where the thermostat unbolts .. There is no water in the sump oil or in the cylinders .. So from here I believe it is the gasket blown in one of the gallery's so oil is pushing into a water gallery , does that sound right ?
Has anyone changed a head Gasket on a 1300 before , as I need to get the Torque measurements and sequence to do up the head bolts when I attempt to start the replacement ? Any recommendation for which Quality Head Gasket set to use as there is few kit's on Ebay and other sites in Australia ,any info would be much appreciated ..
