I checked the spark plugs and they look really good. The oil looks fine, no signs of water.
QUOTE Did you see the bubbles completely go away at your fill point while engine was warming up? If you lower the level at that point about 1" and increase idle to about 1200-1500 or so, you will be able to run engine while water is expanding. If air bubbles you present then, I'd suspect a blown head gasket. You could also pull your plugs.........if a cylinder is pumping water, you'll see a rusty color on plug. no bubbles if i increase the idle. The guy at the parts store suggested that i ring the car for about 15 sec. and see if there is any buildup of presure for the cylinders. That turned out negative. No word from Meuller. |
