Very nice write-up
Bill.
Dave, I've got to agree
that I've never seen pressure after cool down on any cooling
system. Do you have something unusual about your system, like two
different pressure caps, or anything else that might make it behave
abnormally?
I believe the "normal"
way to test for this is to use a coolant pressure tester, or any other
method you can devise to pressurize the system. I'm thinking
you could easily have a leak that allowed combustion pressure to get through,
but would never let coolant pressure through, particularly pushing liquid.
It would be easy enough
to pressurize the coolant system to about 30 psi and see if the coolant goes
into your new turbo. Also, isn't there a test you can do where you send a
sample of coolant out to be tested for combustion gasses? That might be
easier, and more likely to give a final answer.
I sure hope it's not leaking Dave. I
guess this is another warning sign that I'll never get with my zero
pressure system, though if I blow too many bubbles, the low coolant light
will come on.
Cheers,
Rusty (zero pressure / ignorance is
bliss)
