Brown discharge in cooler
Posted: Sun Jun 24, 2018 12:21 pm
Hi,
I've been rebuliding engine some 6 months ago, done head gasket, cleaned everything, new oil and water pump, new chains and all gasket sets.
Today I checked coolant at radiatro cap and found the light-brown film on radiator cap and inside radiator. Opened the top hose, which comes from engine, and it also has light brown film inside.
There's NO foam, and coolant is CLEAR BLUE, so I doubt it would have anything to do with ATF mixing.
I do NOT remember any such deposits to be found prior to engine repair.
Any ideas?
Should I do a few rounds of coolan flush?
Should I exchange BLUE coolant for something else?
