The best test is to perform a compression check on each cylinder. A low reading on any one will indicate a leak. If the gasket is blown between two cylinders, both cylinders will have lower readings than the others. You can also check if there is water in the oil pan by checking the dip stick. This is only helpful if the leak is to the water jacket. Knowing why you suspect a head gasket problem would be helpful in determining the cause.
I need to know if I need a special to to change my serpentine belt on a 2001 Buick Regal
?need to replace the cable to a 1979 buick regal, the emergency release mechanism wire broke. Don't know how to release the brake?
It is important to know the firing order of a cars engine. The firing order of a Buick regal is 1-4-5-2-3-6.
a good indication of blown head gasket is water in the oil. so if you pull oil dipstick the oil will be white and gooy.also oil in radiator is another indication,and collant leaking from area between head and block

total coolant capacity of 3.8L buick regal custom? doing a radiator flush so i need to know how much coolant to buy
I don't know which one was at fault but I replaced the head, the head gasket, and the intake manifold gasket.
what are you asking here? PLease be more specific ...like - how do I know if my head gasket is blown, or what do I do about a blown head gasket ......
I do not know if it the same as the 99 but the low port is the one further away from the radiator on the passenger side of the car.
You will not know until your remove the head. You have to remove the head in order to replace the gasket and once you have the head removed have it magna fluxed at a machine shop. That will reveal any cracks.
I do not know. Thank You, J. D. Bloom
you will have antifreeze in your oil!
