hey gang So I bled my cooling system properly this weekend on my new van. quite a bit of air seemed to come out. anyhow. after i took it for a drive i didnt seem to notice that my cooling system was pressurizing like it was before. This van is supposed to have a blown head gasket. Granted i only took it on a 8 mile drive. but I do live in the mountains--so it was a more brutal drive. So my question--will air in the cooling system act like a gasket problem? I would be so stoked if my heads were fine. i dont have access to a pressure tester--unless i can find someone who rents em out. My water pump is still leaking like crazy--so i need to fix that still (and get the proper coolant in it) oh yeah--2.1 wbx |
