Subject:Test for Bad Head Gasket....Please advise.

Hello All:

Anyone following my threads about my 1990 Carat
overheating uphill knows I've been trying to figure
this out for awhile. I took her to a guy this morning
that said he had a simple test...he removed the
Expansion Tank cap...pulled the coil off the rotor and
had his assistant turn the engine over.  Bubbles could
be seen in the Expansion Tank as the engine cranked.
He says that's a sure sign...bad Head Gaskets or
cracked head.

Is he correct? Any and all input appreciated.

Thanks!
