ph 1 1.6 rxe poss head gasket failure

[coxxy]

Got a clio 1.6 rxe on a T plate and when the engine is running, if you lift the dip stick out you can here what sounds like compression from the cylinders. Is this a sign of head gasket failure??

That's most likely just crank case pressure mate. All cars have it. Check you're breather pipe ain't blocked it should go to the air filter from the back of the block

You are removing the dipstick when the car is running?
