My current game plan is:
-Verify coolant temps with a IR temp gun.
-Verify coolant level.
-Inspect coolant reservoir for integrity, inspect caps (two), drain and clean, consider a SS replacement.
-Pressurize coolant system and leak down check.
-Isolate cockpit heating lines to eliminate possibility of leaking heater core.
-Identify engine coolant temperature sensors and test
-Replace engine thermostat. Opening that housing may give an idea if there is buildup in the coolant system.
That’s where I’m going to start.
Thank you for the tip on Simple Green, I was going to buy some this morning. I had no idea regular SG was harmful.
Thank you!
