Pete does it smell like oil or antifreeze ?
It's something burnt but I can't place my nose on it...He has an aluminum radiator and the last idiot (I met him) is a 78 yr old guy from Frisco who lives here and tells everyone including me that we are young punks and we don't know anything. He kept quizzing me on shop methods and old school products. This guy told my buddy to remove his thermostat, to run water to glycol at 80%/20% mix and to keep the fluid level at 1 finger height over the cores in the aluminum radiator, the upper radiator tank is about 2" high so the coolant mixture is going somewhere (which is why I was pointing the finger at the head gasket)...The coolant was a very light seafoam green in color...not like the vivid green slime its supposed to be. So I know the ratio is definitely off. I am going again on Sunday and probably play with it even though its a formal dinner...I think the men will escape to gather around the car.
