Yeah I know - that's why I was puzzled by the question.

Duh! Before they break out the champagne and slap each others backs in my opinion the task is long from over with head gasket failure.

He knows the head gasket has gone, but was stuck with the no-starting issue. If it won't go, is it worth sorting the other issues?

Not to sure Col. If it was my car and head gasket gone I would not bother fixing the other problems and just scrap the car.
