Losing coolant
Molesworth wrote in news:ukmole-
:
Why is coolant dribbling out of the top of the vent loop?
Because the crack in the cylinder liner allows the explosion inside the
cylinder to blast through into the coolant, driving the coolant up the
loop?
Because the explosion in the cylinder is getting past the leaky head
gasket?
Because the crack in the cylinder head is doing the same thing a crack in
the cylinder liner would do?
Pressurized gas from a cylinder is getting into the water jacket by one of
these means. The engine needs to be disassembled to find out IF it can be
repaired or whether we need to REPLACE it.
It ain't gonna be cheap.....
.....it's a BOAT!
