Well, I got the car put back together, and a new tstat put in. I filled the car with water (no use in my mind to fill antifreeze only to have a bunch leak out) and ran the car.
There doesn't seem to be any leaks. But it was now running at about 90 C according to the guage. I"m wondering if I shouldn't do the citric acid flush and see if that helps. Any opinions??
Engine seems to run fine. Not missing that I can hear. I hope the head gasket is ok. I'll have to look soon. I dont' think it would show up overnight. If it lets go, does it bleed outwards, or into the cylinder??
