White build up in a brand new aluminum water neck
I just installed a brand new aluminum thermostat housing on my 350 and after replacing the crappy gasket it came with, I noticed a white mushy film coating the inside. It's only in the housing and not in the radiator hose. It washed off easily and there is no real signs of pitting. It has to be a chemical reaction with the aluminum. Does this mean the coolant ratio is off?
