Handling

@@ Line 19: / Line 19: @@
 === Handling ===
 If you suspect HGF, '''do not''' drive the car and have it checked by a reputable garage.  This can include checking the coolant for hydrocarbons to see if oil/gases have escaped past the gasket into the coolant ways. If the engine has overheated and the cylinder head has become warped, then the head will need to be skimmed so that it can be reseated onto a new gasket at a later date.
