So a quick update on my blown out radiator. I hooked up the radiator and it looks like there is oil skim floating on top as the water is circulating from the engine. The extra pressure from compression must have made the radiator blow out (although it was looking pretty bad anyway). So, I...

So a quick update on my blown out radiator. I hooked up the radiator and it looks like there is oil skim floating on top as the water is circulating from the engine. The extra pressure from compression must have made the radiator blow out. So, I guess I need to bite the bullet and do a head...

Ok. Great
