Looking at buying a x16xe sport but its pressurising the coolant system and if you leave the lid on the expansion bottle it boils over but is fine without the lid on, so would I be right in saying that the headgasket has gone? Also will a MOT centre etc be able to but there exhaust gas tester in the water and give me a definite yes?
Do sports use stretch bolts for the hea, or can they be reused?


Also it needs welding on the rear spring cups, is it a difficult job (for someone who can weld) and whats the best way of doing it?

It could be just an air lock in the water system. Get any garage to do a compression test & a sniff test & that will give you a definate answer if the head gasket has gone or not.
