Above, you said "this is not 100% 440sources fault. its mine for running both grounds on the heads and not the block" So, is it the Anti Freeze mix or ground placement? Or both?

i have been worried about hard water in rads for a long time so this was the pre mixed stuff. so if that was the problem it was from the prestone factory.

when we found the problem dodgefarmer here repaired and surfaced them, they went on a new 383 and this time i bought distilled water and non mixed antifreeze and went 50/50 mix. no tap water anywhere.

hopefully problem is solved? i ran straight tap water in my blower motor with eddies and never had this issue.
