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? [/B][/QUOTE]

no, crank the engine like you normally would, only without the coil connected... you will see coolant shoot straight out of the radiator... hard to miss it!
