OK,
So, the gaskets on the front end needed to be replaced (block side started to leak anti-freeze between block, & timing chain cover, PIA !!), did the timing chain and gears, & front seal, & harmonic balancer, AND NEW waterpump (NOT a rebuild). Quite sure that the reason the gasket went, is because of constant over pressure all the time on a 13 Lb. rad cap (needed to constantly add antifreeze about once a week, prior to work being done). SINCE all of this was done, NOW it doesn't leak, BUT it constantly Pukes into the over flow (And I mean everytime it is shut-off, no, load, no high rev's, simple driving, go to work, shut it off... 10 seconds later I can hear it puking into the overflow... (even with the hood down).
SO, I went and got a new fan-cluch, AND a dual core radiator (original was a single row 1/2 full, new one is full cores), "Trailer special" radiator..... BIG Bucks.... System is full of 50/50 mix....
ANY Ideas ?????? PLEASE, someone this is driving me NUTS !
