TomsFocus Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Can't watch the video. Chances are either coolant tank is cracked/crazed or the cap pressure spring is weak. New cap and/or tank needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frembrit Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 The video shows the coolant boiling (proper bubling) and steam escaping from the cap, yikes! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

froggy8 Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 if it is anything like this: then it is a blown head gasket. mechanic told me that gas was going into the coolant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
