Tech Tips, Tech Questions / Steam Bath

« on: August 19, 2019, 08:44:12 pm »

I just fired up my 86 GT after replacing both heads. Immediately heavy water vapor began billowing out of the exhaust. Where could I have gone wrong? Could coolant be entering through the intake and into the combustion chamber? Could the heads and and gaskets be good? I have done head swaps before and I have never had a pair do this right after replacement. Also, the oil is as clean as it was out of the bottle. On the upside, the car fired right up and idles like a champ with the exception of the slightly sweet tasting vapor cloud.

Tech Tips, Tech Questions / Positive battery cable

Another noob question. Where do I connect the "not" battery end of the positive cable? It's too short to go all the way to the starter.

I am new to the organization and need assistance. I removed the engine/tranny and some peripheral parts including what is called the crossover tube. I have a 1986 GT and cannot recall how it goes back in or where. I suspect it is along the front where I consider the firewall to be. Does anyone have pictures and or a diagram for the cooling lines between the radiator and the motor?

Thanks
