I was out in my car when I started it up and it made a slight pop noise and then idled and drove perfectly fine so I thought nothing of it tbh. I got home and when I went back out it wouldn't start engine was hot still and the coolant had went out of the header tank. Obv susspected Head Gasket so I topped the tank up with water for now and left it 4 hours came back and started up straight away...

It made a tinny noise when it started didnt sound to good imo..

Anyone came across this before?

All coolant hoses connected?

I take it when you filled it back up with water, the water stayed in the header tank and didnt disappear?
