After all of the cars i have had i would defute the comment, water on
your hand from the exaust afew drops may just mean condensation froming
in the not hot tail pipe . i have too many cars even not LBC's have
water dripping from the pipes and be dry after running.. may caution be
there howver when the combination of bubbles on th eradiator and water
running from the tail ppe..
just one observation from one who is replacing a head from water blowing
after the forwarned bubbles..
