All,
You may have seen my other thread about the “heater hose” where I had a frozen coolant plug bolt on the head I had to drill out. Good news is I finally got it out today! Bad news is, when I reassembled everything, filled the radiator with water, I noticed the carburetor starting to fill with water? I let that drain, then I went to start the car and the engine would only halfway crank. I pulled the plugs, turned over the engine, and TONS of water came spraying from the cylinders!
Since the car ran fine before, I’m fearing that when I drilled out the coolant plug bolt, I drilled too far and went through something i shouldn’t have! Is there ANY other explanation for water going from the hose in the top of the radiator into the engine?? I hope so but am wondering if not how screwed I am!!
Ugh,
Max
