is my head gasket blew?
|
|
|
I replaced the water pump, thermostat, I put orange coolant, drained the
old coolant, and today the only thing the mechanic shop could tell me
is the radiator cap. When I went to change the radiator cap about 3/4 of
a gallon of water came out I put water because 2 days after the water
pump the car started running hot and all the coolant shot out the side
of the radiator weep hole. I thought the water pump wasnt installed
properly but the mechanic shop today said the pressure test was ok. The
car drives fine always slips once between 20mph and 45mph then smooth.
The car shakes a little in idle like the beginnings of a bad mount and
the car gets hot more at stop lights but only once when the coolant
pretty much poured out did it get past the 1st notch after half. Does
this sound like a blown head or do cadillacs just run that way? when it
rises above half it drops back down to half after a minute or 2 except
that 1 time. yes this is the 2000 cadillac deville! I'm trying to sale
it oh yea and after replacing the radiator cap it still rose a little
but I did lose water a minute ago when i changed the cap i'll check it
in a minute after losing that water it still seemed pretty full
