Well my Camaro is really kicking me in the nuts. MOT failure parts ordered fitted MOT pass. Develops a misfire more parts ordered fixed problem solved or so i thought. Treated it to a nice eglow dash overlay fitted ,now 1/2 the gauges dont work ( nuts ). Then thought antifreeze a bit stinky and old, give it a change two snapped off shroud bolts later one tap and dye set later, rad cleaned out along with expansion tank and engine new AF put in. Running the engine up to temperature .......... black/brown bubbling substance comes to the top...... Im betting one of the head gaskets as gone .........HORLICKS ####$$*&&*& :x

ANYONE ACTUALLY GOOD WITH MECHANICS ARE WELCOME TO GIVE ME A HAND TO FIX THIS BUGGA!!!

Aston Martin put this in the coolant system of every new car they sell, seen it work on a few engines myself after 20 mins on tickover problem solved. Are you sure it's not just crap from the bottom of the rad you have disturbed? Head gasket symptoms are normally a white jizzy like foam in the water not black brown bubbling?

Im assuming its the head gasket as its oil in the rad.

Fingers crossed team slammed that k seal stuff in the rad following a through rad flush. Theres less oil in the North Sea than in the water in the rad. Confirmed by low level on the dip stick. Ive ran it for the five minutes and will give it another five tomorrow after Ive rechecked the levels. If that dont cure it its head gaskets and the old Haynes manual decribes the task as being able to be done with the engine in situ...... " but is difficult" that means Horlicks.

Whenever I hear talk about head gaskets leaking oil into water and vice versa the first thing that springs to my mind is
Has your engine got an oil cooler ????
I speak from personal experience many many years ago we had the same issue the head came off crack tested all ok head gasket visually fine put it all back to gether still getting oil in the water all because of the oil cooler !!! :oops:
So if the v6 lump has one I would def check it before you start the mammoth task of pulling yer cyl heads off :thumbup:

To anyone else thinking of using rad seal ,k seal .holts dogturds that what we called them :lol:
All they really do is gum up the hole in your main rad but the rest flows round until it gets to your heater rad where it then stops and blocks up the very small tubes !!
Winter or cooler weather then arrives to find you now have no heating/warm air in yer car :oops:
