Yesterday, it was 109 degrees here in beautiful Fresno, CA!
Coming home from work.. at about 105 degrees.. suddenly my AC started to spew hot air!
I wondered about the AC compressor.. but left it off til home 20 minutes later. Checked the overflow coolant reservoir.. bubbles coming up into the overflow container! Noticed a lotta bugs in my radiator.. so cleaned as much as possible with simple green and high-pressure hose nozzle..
This morning.. overflow reservoir was full to high mark with green coolant water (?).. Opened radiator cap.. water looked almost clear, some junk in it.. maybe from head gasket compression leak?? .. My oil level was down about one quart (hadn't checked for 2-3 months?)..
AC and engine worked OK to go to work this morn.. at 86 degrees temp..
This smells of head gasket.. Huh? I had driver side done about 5 years ago .. Hmmm?
Well.. this is a real bad time for me.. since I'm trying to finish a fairly intense restoration/major tuneup on my 308GT4 Dino.. for annual car show in Monterey on August 17!
SOOOoooo!? Shud I get a short block? Rebuilt? HELP! ???
Thanks, Jim
