K Series head gasket failure.......
Discussion
So maybe a silly mistake or damaged block?
Head gasket failure on a 200 - k series engine. New gasket

Skimmed.
Seemed to do the trick, coolant stopped pressurising. 20 miles (if that) later overheating (thermostat appeared to be opening ok when checking top hose on my post-work checks) - seems like head gasket has gone again.
Having spoken to a colleague who apparently made a similar mistake a few years ago - I should have installed an up-rated head gasket, not unknown for them to fail instantly!
Anybody else had this?
