    i have just purchased a calibra turbo for £200 .it had a head gasket 2000 miles ago and the head was tested at pentagon vauxhall. the car was cheap because the head gasket is gone. but looking back into the history file i got with the car .1 month after the head was done the previos owner had trouble with the cooling fan .as i donot know when the gasket blew ,what are the odds on overheating causlng the blow rather than the head beeing porous, the car has had a new transfer box with receipt to prove also having bills for over £3000 in the last 2 years so its to good to break.i just do not want to shell out for a head if it dont need one.
