ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    radiator problem?

    my friend has an aftermarket radiator in his '94 del sol, and his temperature gauge usually sits right on 'C' or just a hair above. but lately it's been going up to at least halfway. he popped the cap off and found this brownish green gunky pasty stuff, and we have no idea what it could be. any ideas?

    sounds like your friends temp gauge doesn't work right. when is the last time he changed his coolant?

    my first thought was headgasket, but i've seen gunk in the coolant before and it was something else.

    check the oil also to see if it has coolant in it also. later.

      just changed the coolant, and he's loosing some. so there's gotta be a leak. and he says there's no coolant in the oil either. one of our buddies smelled the coolant gunk, and said it smells like oil. my guess is that he's leaking oil.
