LT's and burning coolant? I just got a set of Hookers, and now I'm burning coolant, no smoke in exhaust, but when I get out of my car it smells like coolant. I just topped it off with about a quart of the oprange stuff today. Will see how far it has gone down tomorrow. |
ummm. headers alone shouldnt cause to you to burn coolant. any chance that its leaking onto the headers and burning off like that? |
I wouldn't think so either, but I'm going to wait till tomorrow and see how far it's gone down. |
When you installed the headers did you break off the water temp sensor on the front of the driver's side head? I snapped mine off trying to get my headers in, and its something a lot of people over look. Otherwise headers alone won't cause a coolant leak. |
Don't think so, the dummy light reads "right" |
yeah i was thinking about the water sensor too. if you didnt break it, then make sure its not leaking from there. i had to remove the water sensor when i installed my friends headers on his nova. but ill bet the genIII block is different |
Nope, checked the temp sensor this morning after driving, but the smell is much less noticeable after I topped it off. |
Smells the strongest when a/c is on, noticed today... |
