Hi got a 93 2.4 turbo diesel surf with a possble cracked head. Had a hose blow and the anti freeze container lid burst from immense pressure. Garage where i broke down suspect the head is cracked. What azre my best options if it is cracked??? It only has 149 000kms on it and is really tidy. Not a happy time!!!!!

"Bars" Stop leak..... brilliant stuff that. the engine rebuilders had to pry the head off my engine block with a crow bar. ..."Look ma' No head bolts".....while you source another head.
