At a crossroads. Here is the short and sweet.
Cooling hoses went, one by one. Replaced all, bypassed those under the plenum.
Car overheated one day, cooling system under serious pressure.
Sent back to mechanic. Carbon check, positive.
No smoke, no milky oil, car runs very strong. Still positive for carbon.
Suggestion made for Blue Devil. Took suggestion.
No more overheating. Stays half way temp wise.
Fan clutch stays on at operating temp (half way up temp gauge). Replaced w/ non oem (I know, should only use oem).
Fan clutch issue continues.
Coolant gushing past rad cap, after the car is off, not all the time. Replaced old cap with a new. Same issue.
I believe the hg sealant may not have sealed, hard to tell, because car doesn't overheat anymore.
Feel like hg is still an issue. Crossroads are simple, ditch the car, get something else, or fix it. Only have about $1000-1300 expendable cash.
Not mechanically advanced.
