Foamy Radiator

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I know that usually when you have bubbles in your radiator  coolant that means a blown head gasket. But I have changed the head gasket twice (first time had it on wrong) and even had the heads took down to a machine shop to be tested for cracks. Neither the head on the 41 or the 37 was cracked. I don't know if water pumps could cause this because mine, where it connects to the radiator hose, leaks. Could this be sucking air in and doing that? 

I don't really know what I'm talking about so some of this may sound weird. Do any of you guys have any idea on what could be causing this?

Thanks, 
Jeremy

	What does the foam look like? It usually takes some type of added chemical to foam. To just make bubbles it could be the water pump. A cracked sleeve could also blow bubbles like a blown gasket.

	It looks like someone dropped Alka Seltzer in the radiator.
