1) Will driving with a blown head gasket do premature damage to the engine ? if drive on and keep topping it up with water as long as it doesnts overheats will it be ok?

2) while biting point , there is a loud metal scurbbing against metal sound .. is that a likely cause of a screwed up clutch ? i am using ACT super single clutch which i think is a mechanical clutch . so is it normal to have that kind of sounds?

3) I see small bubbles like gasy drinks gas when i check my radiator.. is that normal?!

Thanks for reading.. i hope some pros here can help me out :*(

blown head gasket causes air bubble to form when lookin at the hole of the radiator. which means the bubbles is caused by the blown head gasket.

As for any damages will be cause, some will say yes, some will say no as long as it dun overheat.

Ask u, when the pistons moves up n down in the combustion chamber being ignited again n again just to keep the engine running, u guess wads the average temp there?
So when the surface of the pistons n the inner surface of the cylinders get so hot n the coolants seeps in, wad do u think?

Do a simple experiment.
Take a cooking pot, put on the stove, turn on the fire to high n let it "cook" for 10mins. No water, just dry cooking.
Immed, take it to the basin n pour in BOILING WATER. (boil a kettle n standby at 1 side.)
See the result den u will get ur answer liao.
Seriously, I'm not too sure wad will happen.
