Wow im surprised it still even runs.that is WAY WAY beyond vapor!!!
What does the inside of the radiator look like?
I'm here to tell ya listen to JD on not driving it unless you want to put a motor in it.
I had an 84 t-bird w/ a 302 and it blew a head gasket, dumped it into the oil pan and within 2 days I had a rod knocking. Wife wouldn't let me fix it, so I sold it to a guy whom had a motor ready to go in it.
On a side note JD has done at least 2 explorer engines that I know of (his own and Xeek's) so I'm gonna go with he knows what he's talkin' about.
Yea I've done quite a few and been part of many more.i definitely know my ohv 4.0 by heart.i would take all the advice to heart,i have seen the damage first hand on many including mine twice.i stopped driving the sec i saw steam and rebuilt and can tell you the effects of water on bearings,even have pics somewhere.im sure others will post up the same in time but sure they feel that the advice has been sound all ready.you can search and i have least three threads on here with pics and ways to test all of it
O no didn't take it in any bad way at all.please ask away.believe me im the worse when it comes to asking question but im just trying to learn.that's what we are here fordoesn't bother me one bit,i try and be as helpful as possible as everyone else was to me
Good, thanks. I just didnt want you misunderstanding thinking I was second guessing you or anybody else. I just wish I would have posted before I wasted time and money doing what I did so far. Oh well live and learn right.
Wow looks like a radiator flush is LONG OVERDUE
And you can see where the gasket blew out at.
