Jeff:
Multifuels have a tendancy to blow head gaskets. The job to replace them
is not
very hard. There are also updated Gasket kits available. Check for an
over
presurized cooloing system. also with the engine running and the
radiator cap off,
run the engine at about 1200 rpm's and have someone look in the radiator
for
bubbles. If there are ANY bubbles it is a sure sign of a blown head
gasket. This
is the same with any internal ombustion Engine. The cooloing systems are
sealed
and there is no way for carbonmonoxide gas to enter the cooling system.
Except
from the combustion chamber through a blown fire ring. There is also a
Test liquid
that will verify the presance of CO in the Rad. Any Mechanical shop can
give you
the proper info. Good Luck. :-).
