Ud be hard going to fuck a gasket on an sr id say. Never seems to be a huge problem with them. Have u properly bled the system with the little nipple?

It s got a metal head gasket was fine then just took it for a short spin not driven it hard or nothin an just noticed it I felt the lower rad pipe and it was cold compared to the top one guessing the thermostat must be opening right !!

Ye I bleed the system bloody 3 times an used the bleed nipple

Thats sounds more like a blocked rad if one pipe is hot and the other cold, they dont usually get headgasket problems
