Did you get a pic Ev?

 

 

jesus that timing cover is tricky to get the sump gasket on especially when your hands are covered in threebond!

Sorry Evan, Couldnt resist.

 

 

:lol:

rofl GOLD!

That's about as bad as the welsh plug blowing out a rebuilt head on my 3k, i feel the pain man

Evan go buy a cheap bottle of oil and pour it into the engine using it as an engine flush letting it run out of the sump.

i got some left over 20w50 and some other magntec. sounds like a plan. thanks trev!

 

problem fixed. filled the radiator. put my mouth over the radiator and blew into it. heard a hissing noise. got some soapy water and sprayed it on the hoses/radiator.

 

found a leak from my radiator core FML!

 

shouldnt cost much to fix?

guessing about fidy bucks. Get them to give it a full clean while you're there. New engine and clogged radiator = fail!

Evan

I feel your pain.

At least you found it before it became a problem

CYA

I think you are lucky that you put water in it without the sump plug being in.

but they stick rods down the holes....sorta like a medical condition you can pick up from not so nice girls!

Agreed.

 

If you weren't monitoring how much water you were pouring into it you would have kept topping it up unitl it filled the ENTIRE motor and started dribbling back out of the PCV valves etc. That would really suck.

reminds me of when the penny dropped in my head that my headgasket was blown in an unknown condition engine.

 

fill up radiator to full, start engine, check water level, level dropped, add more, level dropped, add more.....*thinks to self must be air bubbles*, level dropped, add more, level dropped, add more, drop sump plug....swear lots.

 

(headgasket replaced, and its still going strong 18months later!)
