Over the last three weeks, (Since Death Valley), increasingly losing
coolant, to the point where I have had to STOP because of dash warning.
(since losing coolant at an increasing rate, from about 2-3
tablespoons of initial loss, I am pouring pints - quarts depending how
far I drive. Consequently I carry coolant and top off before I drive.
I brought it to local mechanic which did not have adapter for the 505,
said "build up pressure and check for leaks", which I did and did not
detect any leeks, to which the mechanic said, "if it's not going
outside, it's going inside."
My reaction is to hope its not a blown head gasket, and if it is a
blown head gasket, does anyone have experience with the $100.00 block
seal? Or do I repair the gasket? I only consider this option, because
this motor does not exhibit fatigue, it is a STRONG engine and hums
down the way soaking up bumps on the road like no other car. I just
think that the most minimal cure might prolong life in this engine
without tearing out the soul.
Ok, a little to poetic, but really, people, any thoughts about this
approach, any experience with the new polymars and other liquid
fasteners, that might alleviate a teardown of the head and attendant
components?
Thanks,
Vincent
