Re: Restoring Rusty - Engine Block Tester
since I could not tell where the coolant was going, I decided to give one of them Engine Block Testers a shot
You rent this kit from AutoZone or some other parts house, and you buy the fluid at NAPA, the fluid don't come with the kit
The point of this test is to see if there are fumes in the coolant, this would would tell us if the coolant is making its way into the combustion chamber or exhaust chamber I think
You remove the radiator cap and stick the tube in the radiator and run the engine while pumping the rubber thingie to bring some fumes inside the tube, the blue fluid will turn yellow if there are fumes in the coolant.
