Where have you found coolant going?
The engine I am in now ran poorly on a few cylinders. Dany and my wife said steam out the exhaust .
We swapped it for Danys "race engine" and I plan on using this one in our 66 cuda.
I pulled it expecting to see one of the cracks opened and a cylinder showing signs of being steamed clean by coolant.
It was more than a gallon or gallon and a half low on coolant when we pulled it so I thought I was on the right track.
Then we found a broken valve spring and bent pushrod and valve.
But all the cylinders were still sooty like no coolant ran thru any of them.
Head gaskets looked fine and no external leaks.
At this point I wonder if it re sooted itself after the coolant got below the water pump as they drove it about 10 miles to the shop??
