Replacing Coolant
Did you ever change or use coolant? Looks like pure water to me...
I hope you cleaned the coolingchannels thoroughly... Jeroen --- "pws" > schreef in bericht ... |I think that I found out why this Miata was overheating. | | http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/pat/gunkedup.jpg | | Pat |

This is not my car, at least, not to drive. This is the 1991 Silverstone that I am parting out. That coolant may be the original stuff that Mazda put in 18 years ago. Anyone need a 1.6 liter engine cheap? :-) Pat |

Can you send it overseas for, say, $100?

Replacing Coolant
OUCH! I don't think there's ANY coolant in that sucker unless rust acts as a
coolant! Chris 99BBB "pws" > wrote in message ... > jfeelders wrote: >> Did you ever change or use coolant?

It will be interesting to see what the rest of it looks like since I am selling the external parts from it and then will see if anyone wants the block to rebuild. Pat |
