Can you even take off the heads in these cars with the motor inside? ![[Confused]](confused.gif)

How do you blow a head gasket on a stock 03 cobra is beyond me unless you got the power to lift the factory head bolts I see no reason why any 32v would blow a head gasket unless ran hot and continued to be beat on or driven..

I'd be worried about it really being a head gasket. At least get it diagnosed at a shop and then go find a shade tree mechanic so you don't waste your time if you wanna go cheap.

9 times outta 10 people can't figure out how to "burp" a breached coolant system when it comes to Cobras/Mach 1's,it's amazing how easy it is and yet so many can't figure it out and assume they have a blown head gasket,these motors are not at all like dinosaur foxbodies

It's not exactly "easy" to blow a head gasket on one of those. Let a professional diagnose it.. could be a air pocket if it's overheating.

Well this is my story I got it lowered and the same day on the freeway something came and hit my radiator causing all my coolant to leak out I was unaware of this because it was late at night and drove home. The fallowing morning I noticed all my coolant was gone so I filled her up with some more started it up and bam seen hella smoke come out the tail pipes and coolant bursted out the pipes as well. Now does that sound like a blown gasket? I could be wrong but that's why I'm posting on here for help

Why does that even matter now the problems already caused and I told u the coolant came out in the morning after i refilled it the car was on my driveway parked that's why i didn't slide.

Lol this thread just has all sorts of win...like I said have somebody who knows how to refill/burp a 4v coolant system before you go assuming you have a blown headgasket..You cannot just fill these cars up with coolant and go, it does not work that way,the coolant you think your seeing out the exhaust is most likely typical condensation,especially in this cold ass weather and your hose blew off cause there IS AIR in your coolant system and is a causing huge amount of pressure...That's my guess from the story you told..Unless your leaving out the part where your temp gauge was pegged hot all the way home off the freeway then yes your head gasket just might be blown but even then I doubt it..good luck

Do yourself a favor and take these steps to fix your issue if it still gets hot do it again,I guarantee this is your issue..And replace your busted heat exchanger or radiator..
