I dont think you have an head gasket problem.Check that your therostat is working.Try running the engine without it.Or replace it.I would like to now a little moore about this problem,You dont give enough detail on it.

Can you use gasket in a tube for head gasket?

head gasget you must use one for the car maker as such high heat and pressures involved sealing cyliders and the head. it would be a good thing to check the head and block is not damaged eg not flat or cracked best of luck to you.

Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.5 L poor engine performance, very flat. Good idle, not missing. Could the timing chain be the cause. No codes when scanned.

I would suggest a compression test as an engine with those miles on it will be close to being badly worn
If thee is a chain problem it will not be running

bubbling when the coolant is full indicates a head gasket problem. have a compression test done to check for gasket/cracked head. have a flow test done on the radiator as the cores may be blocked reducing coolant flow.

I THINK I HAVE A BLOWN HEAD GASKET IN MY 00 GRAND VITARA SUV, IT OVERHEAT AND SHUTS OFF ALSO HAVE TWO OIL LEAKS. IS IT REPAIRABLE OR SHOULD I BUY A USED MOTOR

Hi,

Yes this is reparable both the head-gasket and the oil leaks.

Just price up the cost of a second hand motor and the repairs of the head-gasket and oil leaks.

Go with the cheapest.

Thanks

Jason
