[6pack] engine question

	Oliver:

	The blown head gasket would explain the overheating. I recommend that after
you do the head gasket, you simply do a good flush and refill with 50/50 mix
and replace the thermostat. That should do you just fine.

Hi, all.

I have a friend with a very nice, very original 75 TR6 that was her
stepfathers, who bought it new.  i've been under the car, and it still has
the cardboard tranny tunnel.

anyway, looks like she blew the head gasket - the dipstick comes out with
multiple flavors . . .

she's had some overheating issues, and we think some of the water passages
may be blocked.  can you get to them from the top of the engine once the
head is off?

thanks!
