No water/anti-freeze showing in the engine oil, or the lifer valley. With this being just an old used engine, I have decided to just remove it, and rebuild it or replace it with another engine I get rebuilt.
Wish me luck - and better time slips in the future.

Couldn't you use a cooling system leak testing pump...the kind that goes in place of the radiator cap?? As for the motor...compression and/or leak down test might give you some helpful info.

Good luck...wilma
