UvHi
I have 163ML class engine. Just finished its top end work. Replaced cylinder, piston, head gasket, valve guides, valves, valve seals, lapped new valves.
Now I m checking at the radiator cap and see these gushing of water. . The first time I poured water there were shot of bubbles and after slightly reving it the water level decreased, then again filled and again some bubbles and water level dropped slightly. Then filled and water level stays consistent but not sure if the head gasket is OK as this time the gasket is three pieces metal sheet and i always have issues with it. the length of hose pipes is significant so seems the reduction in water volume was due to that and some water goes to pump.
Looking at the videos of shot does it indicate some leak in head gasket or all looks normal?

I did a brisk ride of 15km and coolant Temps were 75-80°C. And no reduction in coolant volume. Though I kept my speed below 50kmph.
