How ironic, after commenting on 2 overheating threads, my engine also overheated. - when this happened, i was missing 3 litres of coolant from the radiator it was completely empty even though i top it up once a week
I flushed the heater core, flushed the system, installed TRD thermostat, poured in 4 bottles of Toyota LL coolant, idled up to temperature, installed TRD radiator cap, rolled down the driveway facing up, ran the engine at 2000 rpm with the radiator cap off and funnel inserted, topped up as necessary and refit TRD cap when bubbles stopped coming up. Procedure took several hours to complete, afterward I took the car for a hard blast, everything seemed okay and the heater was now giving beautiful heat, however when I got the car back in the driveway I had white smoke start billowing out of the tail pipe. I re-checked the coolant and its still good, and the oil isnt sludgy so I can rule out the head gasket, I fear coolant is getting into the engine and burning out the exhaust but how??? Where do I go from here? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61f2oO_rrfc This post has been edited by delusionz: Apr 7, 2011 - 7:02 AM -------------------- Mike W
