I have a few questions I'm hoping you legands can help with. Firstly
I've flushed the radiator and cooling system out about 20 times inc taking thermo out and shoving garden hose through bother ends and also doing a coolant chemical flush. I've changed 1 of the coolant hoses the other has been ordered. Though I'd had it cleaned but still after driving for half hr and letting it cool down and checking coolant it's dark/dirty. It's not oily judt dirty/rusty am I missing something.
Next.. the heater has been disconnected. It has obviously stopped working so they've disconnected the hose from thr bulkhead I've heard it's a big job removing the whole dash board so that could be the reason. Can this have anything to do wuth the dirty cooling system ? Or is my car just full of rust?
Next.. seems to maybe be running rich, it's idling fine but quite a strong smell when running. Could it just need a tune st the local mechanic.
Next.. I attempted to take the exhaust manifold out to bore 2nd and 3rd lumps, but fail because of the full size rad and AC so I couldn't get to the bottom 4 bolts.
Any ways around this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
