It's still good.  Sometimes I go through the different sections to see where the guests are visiting and occasionally I find 1 or 2 at a time in this section.  Lots of times, rather than totally rewriting something to answer someone on Pennocks, I just put a link to the advice given here.

Well, we're all really good at giving Expert Advice.  The Tech part is usually trial and error.

Title: loud motor and cool radiator
Post by: oldone on June 01, 2016, 12:20:16 pm

how can you tell if you have manifold gasket going? which side? or is it a head gasket? no white smoke or sweet smell . also after motor runs for a while hot light comes on, radiator and front hoses and coolant pipes don`t get hot?

Remove the thermostat.  If the top rad hose doesn't warm up, it's possibly the water pump.

Take a 2-3 foot piece of heater hose, place 1 end to your ear, move the other end around the exhaust manifolds to search for the loudest sound.  It could be the y pipe underneath the shield or an exhaust manifold.  Then use an inspection mirror to pinpoint the loud sound.
