Pushing Coolant!

Capinoy123 · 07-14-2008

I just changed my thermastat, and vacuumed in the coolant to make sure there are no air pockets. (Special tool i use that puts the cooling system in a vacuum and sucks the coolant right out of the bottle into the cooling system.) and i also changed my radiator cap to a high pressure one. and i got home from work today and bam coolant on the ground, not allot just a little but it filled half the bottle before it started coming out. I just rebuilt my motor with a new cometic head gasket. Anyone have any ideas?

Cometic headgaskets blow ass. That is all. Should have gone with a composite Mitsu gasket and ARP's.

x2, I had a cometic and it pushed coolant as well. I then tryed a titan and that leaked on startup and now I am going mitsu composit and arp headstuds. Good luck and let us know how it runs with the mitsu HG installed.

Probably complete failure on the headgasket job.

Cometic's work fine and you don't have to copper spray them. Your block and head need to be perfectly flat though and clean enough to eat off of.

Yeah, I suppose I should have specified that before I made my comment.
