Hi All,

Well, I finally discovered the cause of my inability to circulate
coolant... Rust. Upon taking the engine apart to replace the coolant
o-rings I discovered the massive amounts of rust shown in the picture.
And this picture does not even do it justice. The rust was so thick it
was not allowing any coolant to flow. This is the front side housing,
but the others were just as bad.
This points out how important it is to do a flow test early in the troubleshooting process. How much time was spent - with the system, and on-line - trying to isolate the non-causes? Knowing how long it takes to fill a 5 gallon container will tell a person some very significant information about the cooling system. Ummm, okay, knowing how long it *should* take is an important part of that, too.
David, I grieve with you over the loss of the center and end housings. I hope you find an inexpensive source for some replacements.
