Okay, I have replaced the missing thermostat and did a coolant flush. And once again after a long ride in traffic she was leaking antifreeze out of the expansion bottle. After letting her cool for a

First, every Spridget has a working temp gauge. It's called your right leg. Is the valve for your heating system open or closed? When it is open, it adds a little more area to allow for better engine

Ryan (and others having similar problems), Do yourself a favor, and have the cooling system pressure-tested, by someone who knows what they're doing. From what I've read, on this thread (and I confes
if it was a gasket wouldn't the coolant flow back into the radiator once cooled? I am seeing it full in the expansion tank. It seems to flow from will have the compression test done. ideally today bu
In a word: No. If the head gasket (NOT the "valve gasket") is leaking, it may be pressurizing the cooling system enough to blow the coolant out past the pressure cap on the expansion tank, while the
Are you coming to the Spring Oshit Saturday? Bring the car, Larry will push it if it doesn't make it ;) We will figure it out, we have head gaskets, radiators, and test equipment. Just bring an extr
