[TR] blown headgasket without milky coolant or oil?

[Joe Curry]

If it is a crack, it may be that one of their welds did  not hold.

Someone else mentioned that if it is the headgasket I should see bubbles in
the radiator with the cap off.  Would that be true for the type of problem
Bill mentioned?  I don't, but i didn't let the motor get hot enough to open
the themostat.

i am hoping it isn't the head.  I had it magnafluxed about 700 miles ago,
they found cracks and welded them before rebuilding it

Could also be a cracked head.

Sure is, sounds like the break is just allowing coolant to be sucked into
the
combustion chamber. DTDT.
