how hot was the temp gauge while running in that vid you posted?

not in all cases will coolant and oil mix...and those block testers are known to sometimes deliver false readings, showing a head not to be blown
the fact that the car was driven 10 miles on seized water pump while overheating and now has developed a misfire...99% chance the head is blown

it wasnt even over heating yet
12-31-2012
found out it wasnt 10 miles it was 2 miles

isnt another way to check, is to see if the hose on the right side of motor is just as hot as the left side hose, thats how i noticed my car needed a thermostat, the house on the right side of engine bay was hot, and the other side was "warm"
01-02-2013
if your talking about the fat rad hose's, the top one should be hotter then the lower one, as the lower is cooled coolant that flows back to the engine.

interesting, that makes sense, once i swapp'ed them they both retained warm.

i used the blue devil and it worked
01-03-2013
ive seen vids of people using blue devil and it working. i may give it a shot myself, as i eat a cup of coolant a day with my car.
01-05-2013
im looking into this stuff, what size bottle did you use, 16 or 32 OZ?

Purge air out of cooling system, you have bleeder valves and a purge funnel works great!
