how would i know if i have a blown head gasket, if i dont have a resinator. i just block off the hose that goes to the resinator thanks, gsr head/ b16 block 40 mill, type R spings, skunk2 retainer, web valves, gsr cams thanks i/h/e

 

If you had a blown headgasket, you would either see oil in your coolant, or there would be coolant mixing in with your oil, leaving a milky mayonaise looking sludge on your valvetrain. You might also be smoking out the tailpipe, or displacing coolant from your overflow reservoir. I'm not sure what resonator you're talking about, or what it could possibly contribute to a blown headgasket.

 

dont you mean displacing coolant INTO the resevoir??

 

yup, if it goes on long enough, coolant will spill out of the reservoir
