So..what you're saying is..disconnect the coil, and when the engine is cold pop the rad cap and use a ratchet to turn the crank...and the water level in the radiator will rise or overflow if the head gasket is blown? Am I reading that right?
I think he means, pull the coil wire, and crank the car with the key, this way the car wont start, but you need some heavy cranking power tp push that compression into your coolant. It'll also SUCK the coolant out on the intake stroke I would imagine.. so I guess the idea is you'd see SOMETHING happen in the radiator, weather the coolant went up or down.
