Also.....when you park it HOT the coolant system is pressurized and will seep coolant where ever your gasket has failed. Be it a coolant gasket or Head Gasket.

Re: Daily driving a ZR-1
Well the overflow is empty and I don't remember any signs of oil, but I can't check the car myself. I'll ask my brother about it - in fact he's probably checking in on this thread. I'm starting to get hopeful, the signs are pointing to that injector gasket instead of the head.

Re: Daily driving a ZR-1
The daily driver is back! Only missed out on three months. I think he's ready to run.
On the way back I stopped by We Gone's place and let me tell you Steve and his family are first rate people, super-nice folks and he lives in paradise. What a beautiful place to be. I got to see "Old Blue" and hear that Haibeck monster run...WOW. I feel my bank account twitching already. Did I mention Steve is a really nice guy? He surprised me with a wonderful gift, and I couldn't wait to put it on the car. Thanks Steve! It's great to be daily driving a ZR-1 again! Next step, big time cleanup. Wow my car is a mess.

Re: Daily driving a ZR-1
Specific Coolant?? Really?
Three types of coolants, LAT - inorganic acid technology.. traditionally green in color. Used primarily during the 1920-1990. OAT - Organic acid technology..Corrosion inhibiting coolant usually orange, pink or dark green in color. Used in the 1990's. HOAT - Coolant AND diverse additives that prevent corrosion in aluminum... usually orange or yellow. used in the 2000's. There is a lot of diversity in cooling agents and not to mention all the different brands. Never having a ZR-1 I was almost ready to change my coolant to dexcool until I read about the head gasket failures etc.. so yes, specific coolant for the zr1. LAT. ed ramos. |
