Re: radiator pouring coolant out cap

tested the gases coming out of the radiator with the kit you can rent at autozone. didn't really turn from blue to green or yellow. the damn test fluid is so light blue I could not tell really. maybe it turned a bit blue green, I don't know for sure, but it never turned yellow.
I could tell it turned to yellow when I went to the back of the car and sniffed exhaust into it...so I know it was working.
I used the copper spray on the 55 and had no problems, not sure why that stuff would hurt this one.
I've never seen a radiator emit gas like that, then again I've never had a non pressurized system and I have never used Evans coolant.
but yes when I wiped the inside of the radiator with my finger it had a very fine black tint.
it probably is a blown head gasket. I guess a compression test will tell me more.
the reason I used the filter is that when I got the block back from the machine shop and blew air in it....small chunks of scale would come flying out. I didn't want that in my radiator.
evans coolant does not produce vapor...so wtf is that mist crap coming out of the radiator? if it was exhaust the freaking test fluid would have turned yellow right off with that much vapor coming out!!
this is horseshit.....I never should have rebuilt the damn thing. Feeling very defeated right now.
