Default Best place and price to get the headgasket done

Hi all,

Possibly i got head gasket issue on my bugeye 2001' wrx.
I've found out when i tried to bleed out my cooling system after timing belt replacement.
There is no oil in the water or vica versa but i just noticed exhaust gas after ride in my overflow..😩😩and keeps air comming out trough my headers.
So i would appriciate any help and advice in this situation.
Im in west sussex.i would travel for good price snd good service.

Thanks in advance

Get it tested so you actually know what's wrong first.

I'd take mine to my local mechanic as i trust him to do a good job. Most places i know are not down south. Normally garage will pressure test the system.
