    How to check if head gasket is oki?

    Well,

    Iam a bit worried that my head gasket perhaps is dead.
    This is only because it seems that my gets like one notch over 90 when driving in traffic. I can hear the fan going on and off.
    When driving on the motorway, it is around 87 degress i think.
    In very heavy traffic or just idling with AC off for a while it get like 2 notches over 90.



    Does this seem oki in the summer or what? Iam not loosing water and i have not seen any white stuff in the oil.

    Any easy things i can do to check if it is oki or dont i have anything to worry about?

      Mine does almost exactly the same thing. If you have head gasket trouble you will know about it. Water in the Oil = Mayonaise and or oil in the water = brown water!
