hey everyone i recently bought a 00 ranger with a 3.0 in it guy said had blown head gasket so i drove it home it didnt overheat or anything today i got the block test thats supposed to test for blown head gaskets and i took the cap off made sure the coolant was low and after it started to warm up coolant started to overflow top of radiator waited untill thermo opened and sat there with the leak test on it for at least 5 mins and the blue liquid never turned color. on the tester it says shouldnt take longer than 2 mins. anything else i could do to check for blown head gasket idk why the guy sold it to me saying it had one when i dont see a problem yet. last thing is there is a knock sound every so often i get in it either when turning on or off didnt know if that would have anything to do with it thanks again guys
