I have some used oil I will throw in there. I did fill it with straight water, and no antifreeze. That's why I'm thinking it's a bigger issue, I will see though.ShagWagon wrote:Seems something filled it up if it's clean and not green.
Drain, refill and fire it up, then see.
Man 15 years is a long time.......
It seemed to be pretty instant, as when I filled up the radiator the engine would crank roughly and not run very long before it sprayed all over. Before I put the water in the engine ran good. I will do a compression test next.CheapJeepBrad wrote:How long did you let it sit for when you put the water in? Did it instantaneously fill up? According to you there was almost two gallons of water in the block. I doubt a head gasket leak would allow that much water to seep into the block very quickly. I'm betting there was already some in there from the initial failure which is either a cracked head or block or the aluminum timing cover and water pump housing has corroded inside and a hole has formed, allowing the water to run into the timing chain area.
Lol! Just wanted to offer a visual bon how the covers wear out. This is on my spare-spare 360 in my commando. Didn't see it until I sandblasted it.Tatsadasayago wrote:Holy CrapTastic
Lol. I'm hoping everything else is alright. I'll have to get a new radiator too. I'm wondering if there's a way to flush out the passages with a hose or something so I can at least get the loose crap out.ShagWagon wrote:That's crazy. Looks like some mutant rock rat made its home in there......
Your whole coolant system must be totally screwed.
They should have used distilled water lol.
That's remarkably similar to what my water pump looked like, just mine had oily sludge.tedlovesjeeps71 wrote:Reminds me of my crossed fingers 360 when I tore it down. Stupid aluminum cover.
