.MANY folks here are against the MMO or ATF trick for fear of damage to the seals. get yourself an pressure tester and see if you blew the cumbustion o ring (pressure in coolant system) If so, get it fixed sooner rather than later. coolant in combustion chambers will begin to pit the surfaces of the end housings
The aforementioned pressure tester would be a compression tester, but that wont help you if youve blown an o-ring.
Use this like from our buddy Aaron Cake to T-shoot your cooling system.
