	Hi, I believe the head gasket has gone on my Vw LT40 2.4TD I have striped the engine back to the head gasket and revealed this: (sorry I have been trying to make the images work but can't get them to for some reason..so just links for now - if they work?) s213.photobucket.com/user/picbits/media/DE55FEA6-9313-4CB2-8009-A3F6BA805521-703-000000F0EC0B60F8_zps7b5685e2.jpg.html s213.photobucket.com/user/picbits/media/5BB94226-EC89-4F4C-9786-0E899D4A727D-703-000000F0BEDCA3A1_zpsd5bafcd8.jpg.html s213.photobucket.com/user/picbits/media/94F3FA36-8205-42F3-B6A5-F43E192B2FA9-703-000000F104320BD8_zps31d8d07b.jpg.html s213.photobucket.com/user/picbits/media/86313ACE-7540-4E0E-95F6-18BBC99DA99F-703-000000F0F74A53CB_zps6686c9cf.jpg.html Is it the head gasket? Nothing has blown through, maybe the head has warped? There's no water in the oil by the way.. Cheers

	If the head gasket was fine could it have been the inlet manifold gasket that was letting water in? I had this on my old mazda 323, the coolant was creeping into one of the inlet ports from the water heated manifold. That gave some of the knackered head gasket symptoms.

	Many years ago I drove a 35 for a living and at about 180k the head perforated and dumped coolant into the engine, mine failed quite rapidly and catastrophicaly , steam our exhaust, loss of water and then hydraulic lock when trying to restart Ttfn Glenn

	correct me if i am wrong but its rather unusual that if it was the headgasket that all six cylinders seem to have water leaking into them.

	Thanks for the help For future reference I can confirm its the head gasket.. white stuff is left over from the burnt off coolant Its a Camper Think its gone over most of the cylinders because the head has warped
