Slant Six Forum :: heater hoses aspenÂ´s 79

Droplets of water coming from exhaust is normal, it is condensation from the combustion process condensing on cool exhaust pipes. Once those pipes are hot, that process will stop.

However if there are clouds of white vapor smelling like antifreeze billowing out of the exhaust pipe, and a ruff idle, perhaps the head gasket failed, or the head is cracked. Head gasket problems, and or cracked head will cause burping of water from radiator as well.

Also if you did not completely fill the cooling system the head could have been dry, which would cause over heating. This can happen easily because some thermostats can trap air in the head making filling a long slow process.

One more thing, if thermostat is installed backwards, spring side facing out from head, this will cause over heating, no circulation of coolant, and a pressure build up. So check to be sure it is installed correctly.

You can remove thermostat temporarily to fill cooling system, and try starting the engine again. Be on the lookout for a lot of white anti freeze smelling vapor coming from the exhaust pipe.

No vapor, re install thermostat, top off cooling system, and keep checking it for a few days when cold.

If there is a vapor problem, the head probably needs to be removed, and checked for damage.

hi guys, recently i do the head cilynder head and i paint another pieces too, but yesterday i start my slant 225 regulate the valves ,20 escape and 1,10 admision, after 15 or 20 min the radiator begins to sound like "glup glup glup" so loud and the water fall out at the plastic acumulator and the motor stops, and now i look the heater hoses are inverted... coulÂ´d it be the reason of the warminÂ´, or maybe another thing???, some one had a diagram or a photo how to connect the hoses, the hose from the water pump and the other from the head cylinder. thanks from Chile.

Saludos! No, the heater hose connections did not cause your engine to boil. You need to figure out why it happened. Perhaps the engine overheated, or perhaps the cylinder head gasket has failed.

the cylinder head gasket is new... i put that few days ago... some friend tell me that maybe air in the circuit of water? and when start the motor open the heater to refill with water the circuit??

everything seems to be the block... the cylinder head was rectificated the gasket new was torqued like the manuals says, the situation is when i accelerate the water in the radiator jumps out of there, and in the exhaust throw drops of water and donÂ´t stop. and when the temperature is increase the motor stop. i think the best is to rectify the block to the gasket of the head cylinder doesnÂ´t fail again, the 2 surfaces ok

(and i like to be thhat) the gasket come with some fail or bad from factory... or number two... (i don`t wanna that option) the block is curved and a have to dismantle the engine and take the block to "rectify"... next weekend i will buy a new gasket and test the car again... please gimme some lucky... and thanks for replys and so sorry about my english... (you jane, me tarzan...jajajaja)
