"Any idea what's happening? It's been suggested that the air I'm getting out of the radiator is actually steam and isn't a concern. It just seems like air is...
Hello, I work around underground coal mines. The belt used to transport the coal out of the mines is a thick (different thicknesses according to application)...
If you start out cold with no air in the system and air then appears when hot, it is nearly certain to be either from exhaust gases or from a hot spot boiling...
So a silly question..After a climb you say you can bleed some air off...Why are you bleeding the air??? Is it getting hot ?? Is it blowing steam ? Or is it...
... A few years ago, I saw water on the rear window of my 87 Syncro Westy and pulled over to look. The overflow bottle was full and dumping water while the...

Interesting thing- I am looking at the title for the vehicle and it indicates a weight of 3842lbs. Wonder if that is an error? I have been reading about the...
