If exhaust gases are detected in coolant bottle, that will be HG...

As an aside, the K-Seal stuff never works, and you will have a hell of a job getting rid of it once the HG is repaired...

what sort of milage, service history ( ie coolant changes etc)

clearly over pressurising...i presume you think the head (s) are shot due to sniffer test...unusual for a v6, and often oil cooler... :-/
