Milkshake and impossible to start bad coolant seal?
Recently my car overheated really bad and I ended up having to tow it home cause it wouldn't start. Now I have a new radiator and it's still really hard to start and when I take the spark plugs out they are covered in a milkshake liquid also some of the milkshake came out the exhaust. What is going on do I need to do a rebuild?
Also, if you intend to TRY to rebuild that engine, stop trying to run it, pull the motor and get it disassembled and cleaned up as quickly as possible. The milkshake is oil and water in suspension, and if it's running out the tailpipe, it has pooled in the rotor chambers and will quickly rust everything internally.
How many miles are on the engine and how hot did it get? That's as bad as anything I've seen posted here, so don't get your hopes up,...
It got really hot the engine only has 36k miles but the car was sitting for a while before I got it I'm gonna try and get the engine out some time next week. How long will it take to rust.
It's rusting right now. The saying is, "rust never sleeps." It started rusting whenever it got milkshake, so start counting days from then. The sooner the better,
