Ok. Was going to replace my coolant with water and RMI25. I thought there may be a bubble in the system so I did a pressure check. Caps solid and the rad/cooling system is solid. No leaks with the pressure checker. Started her up, let her get up to temp, turned the heat on, and opened the petcock. About 2 gallons came out. Mixed a half bottle of rmi25 to a half gallon of distilled and poured her in while running. Continued with the fill of water. I could only get in like a gallon. How. I got 2 gallons OUT of the thing... I'm ALREADY lost lol. I didn't even get to DIAGNOSE the thing yet and there's already shit wrong lol. Screw it. I'll just run with this. While watching it, in vain I might add, I start to see foam. I'm like oh shit.... You're kidding me with this. Look at the tail pipe. Yep. A good amount of condensation's making little bee lines out of the tail pipe. Questions:
1, How long does your car have to be idling at operating temps (170 for me) before it starts to burn up the inherent condensation in the exhaust pipes?
2. I hear that any residual coolant and chemicals in the block can cause this bubbling. Do you guys think these two symptoms could be independent of each other?
3. I did put in RMI25. Can that cause the white foam/micro bubbling? My car doesn't over heat. It stays pretty normal.
4. Can a super small head gasket leak cause KR?
