LOL! I wonder, IF you were to sell your ride with a blown engine, what would the price be?

looks to me like you like to see steam.

that was a test for a coolant seal? go rent a coolant pressure tester and pressurize the coolant system, pull the EGI fuses out and crank the engine over for 3 seconds and remove the leading plugs, if they are wet with coolant then yes, you have a faulty coolant seal..

the steam is from the coolant hitting the exhaust manifold. the car doesnt overheat. as soon as you turn the car off the bubbles stop. i did more tests than that. just displaying the lovely blown seal

well i hope your right, probably are but the bubble test isn't a very accurate test most of the time since many use aftermarket thermostats and air gets trapped below them until they fully open.
