You may find it is clogged in which case fiddling in there with a bamboo skewer, stiff wire or even a drill may loosen things up.

If there was no obvious leaking or white smoke then there may be a failed head gasket letting coolant into the cylinders and out the exhaust. A leak significant to show as coolant loss and overheating would not necessary have any visible traces in the exhaust. One advantage of have antifreeze is that such a leak may be smelled more easily than it is seen.</p></div><div><p class="ox-e3a0096c88-MsoNormal"> </p></div><div><p class="ox-e3a0096c88-MsoNormal">But I am not sure there is much you can do to test that possiblity (short of head removal) at this point in disassembly.</p></div><div><p class="ox-e3a0096c88-MsoNormal"> </p></div><div><p class="ox-e3a0096c88-MsoNormal">Geo</p></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote></div></div></blockquote><br> <blockquote type="cite"><br>** triumphs@autox.team.net ** <br> <br>Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html <br>Archive: http://www.team.net/archive <br>Forums: http://www.team.net/forums <br>Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/triumphs/pdqtr6@comcast.net <br></blockquote><br> </body></html>
