Low engine coolant light on???

Yep, I used a felpro one. It was a decent quality too. It's held up to a couple hundred miles of complete torture so far

I paid $200 for a complete Felpro engine gasket set including the head gasket, even came with turbo gaskets. I just didn't use the EGR cooler gasket because it was made out of a non-metal gasket and the OEM one is metal, I bought one from the dealer it was like $20.

Light is staying on now huh? You are losing coolant quick. I'm telling ya, go buy a block test kit they are $50 and will give you solid proof if you need to start tearing the motor apart.

I overheated my car 3 times, coolant temps around 230F, when the head gasket finally gave way. I got lucky, no internal damage or warpage was done so these motors are pretty stout, but I suggest catching it before it starts to overheat. No need to take chances.
