Anti-freeze in heating hoses

[btm757]

Yes.

Drain half your coolant and run the engine until it overheats and steam comes out the tailpipe. THEN throw in a bottle or three of stop leak and sell it to your neighborhood 16 year old.

Hahaha

I'll try it...but if my headgaskets are still sealing good after that then I'm just going to loosen headbolts until I fix it. Another issue I ran across is that there is fuel in my gas tank....could these issues be related at all???

 

[Spitfire1975]

hmmmm. Fuel is supposed to be in the crank case. How else would the engine catch when being cranked?

What, no heater in July? My back yard is cover in ice right now! Okay, small, round chunks of ice.

I have oil in my motor and anti-freeze in the cooling system. I think my headgaskets must be sealing properly....any advice?

I was going to guess a heater core seal was leaking but those never go out.

 

[Spitfire1975]

I always had a problem on my 89 BII of the heater cores leaking at the intake/output pipe welds.

Ford does seem to have a tough time with radiators and heater cores. The explorer rads are always leaking and there is a TSB that covers basically every car from 05 up about heater core leakage.

I always had a problem on my 89 BII of the heater cores leaking at the intake/output pipe welds.

The core I put in my 90 didnt have welds. Im pretty sure they were o-ringed, and then pressed in and then they folded over some of the housing metal to "lock" the pipes into place. They would move around a little as I was putting the hoses back on. I even took it back out to make sure I didnt over bend anything on accident. Hasnt leaked in a couple years, so must be OK!
