Ran great! After a 5 minute stop, started her back up & the temps were a little hotter (maybe 210). Normal after a 5 min shutdown, but sitting at the light the temps didn't go down. Crusing along at ~30 & temps went back down were I like them ~180-190.<br /><br />Well, I pulled off the rad cap to see if I needed to add any water since I just drained most of it for the intake swap....here's what I saw:<br /><br /> <img src="http://www.cafords.com/album/00000060/Oil1.jpg" alt=" - " /><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.cafords.com/album/00000060/Oil2.jpg" alt=" - " /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>POS88GT</b> <br /><small>Member # 1757</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,8,9,17,30,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Looks to me like some scale deposits from your radiator, check your dipstick and see what your oil looks like!

Radiator is a new Fluidyne. Just yesterday I drained it & none of this stuff was in there.<br /><br />.....& I don't have a dipstick... Guess I'll just drain the oil tonight, but I have a feeling that I won't find anything. The oil pressure is higher than water at any given time & with this little oil in the water, it'd be damn hard to find any water in the oil unless there's a MAJOR leak. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
