11-08-2011, 02:08 PM #2I would take the it to a machine shop. I blowen a head gasket on a gas jap car before. It wasn't crack but just warped. I wouldn't drive it in fear of it cracking. Is it a steel head? I thought that steel heads are impossible to crack (someone told me that before, they could of been wrong). Hope you just warp it .

11-08-2011, 05:36 PM #7Don't run it. Bad things will happen. If its not crack then running it will crack it. Just don't run it, pull in, take it to a shop, give them 50-100 bucks to clean and to see if its crack.

The biggest tell tale is if the radiator hoses stay pressurized over night Evan after the engine has cooled off!
While its running the compression can push through the crack and pressurize the cooling system over night the pressure pushes a little coolant back through the crack in to the cylinders
personally I release the pressure on the cooling system after I turn off the engine and it has not gotten worse

check in the morning to see if the exhaust smell like burning antifreeze!
Diesels can smoke white from unburned fuel in one or more cylinders like a bad glow plug or weak compression!
My car smoke white in the morning until it warms up a bit but its defiantly not antifreeze
