CGT cooling woes headgasket, methinks?

[Huw Powell]

> The other night it began to lay a large cloud of white smoke and run roughly. Coolant had gone inexplicably missing in the last day or so, so I think you know where this is heading. That's not where it gets really weird, though. It cleared out in a block's worth of driving and began to run normally again (good power, no smoke), but puffed up once back in the neighborhood.

Sure *sounds* like a head gasket - but a compression test would make
sense before disassembly, right?
