Thanks. How much time did you get before the gasket completely failed, or is it still running, and how many miles later? Thanks again!
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 65665023 I have seen it last 20-30k miles. Good luck, and your welcome. Quoting: Justalittlebad Sounds good to me. I noticed when I shut the engine off this morning I heard a gurgle noise. Is that trapped air in the system from when I released some coolant to make room for the 8 ounces of K&W? I hope it is not exhaust gasses, but I never heard the gurgle until this morning, so I'm thinking the system is burping... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 65665023 The gurgling sound is air. Start the car w/ the rad cap off. NEVER add water or coolant to a running temp engine w/o it running. Let it get to operating temp and add water or coolant until it is full and hot. Like I said earlier, click the cap to the first click. It will keep the water from sloshing out at higher rpm's. You will need to keep an eye on the level because it will evaporate because of no seal on the system. Pain in the ass? Yes. But it will prolong the life of the patch. Quoting: Justalittlebad The gurgling is combustion gasses in the cooling system.Nothing he does will stop it until he replaces he head gasket/repairs head.
