This got me thinking: I guess the bigger wheels have to go in the front of the car, so that at higher speed it creates lift from the air going under. That way, the car doesn’t push heavy on the road, hence lower friction and higher gas mileage. Now share the road with me instead!

[@googleuser868]

Had a similar problem to this, hot engine, water pump struggling to keep coolant flowing etc. So, when I replaced the water pump, instead of leaving the thermostat out altogether, I made a slight buckle in the thermostat disc so the coolant could always flow more easily, whether the thermostat had reached operating temperature or not.

I highly recommend NOT using it! It does damage to other things like your heater core and radiator. It'll clog things up. You're always better off changing the head gasket if you can. On these 4 cylinders, it's easy enough to do yourself in half a day since everything is easy to get to and remove.

[@MarcDoughty]

Hey Scotty! Fellow Rhode Islander here! You nailed it with the water pump. I had the same problem on a Focus with the same engine at around 150K miles. The water pump had plastic fins, and some had broken, so it was doing less work than it should have. I got another two years and 30K miles so far (it's still going!) for the cost of about two months of a new car payment. May as well replace the thermostat at the same time, mine was stuck open shortly after this repair (symptom was that the heater was blowing lukewarm and engine temp was always low. Don't trust the dash readout of the thermostat on these, use an OBD2), I suspect one of the broken water cooler fins found its way into the thermostat when the pump was replaced.

[@kneedragger1885]

The 2013 is also much more sporty (motor and design), and feels far quicker and nimble, none of which are bad things. Also, if I'm not mistaken, the 2010 is on the Camry frame, and the 2013 on the Avalon frame (more space).

I might run some Bars through our Jeep if the combustion test comes back positive. Since I can easily get to my heater core inlets, I'm going to bypass the core prior to the additive and consider removing the thermostat prior to replacement - this will allow me to either save or replace all of the antifreeze but need to read up on whether or not the process can be done with plain water. Also, to further answer Beaver's question regarding the larger rear tires; I strongly recommend against this due to the risk of having every newly opened Pabst Blue Ribbon spill all over the center console.

Looking at your pic brought me back to when I used to own a Cadillac Northstar days....

I have a 05 Yukon 5.3 it's possibly has a head gasket blowen. I found a motor but before I go that far I need to find if the head gasket is blowen and how bad.

A big hint when buying a vehicle, always look at the cooling system hoses if there are plastic couplers or connectors run and keep running.

My first thought at the beginning of the video when Scotty said it was a Ford 4-cyl with overheating problems was that it must be one of those Ford EcoBomb engines that's blown a head gasket.

Scotty, I see you as an honest car maintenance and repair fellow truly trying to help others. You are not always right the first time. But, you proceed on the right path to find solutions to problems. Wendy

heater core in 2012 jeep liberty. i have a cockamamee idea, what if i recirculate heated k-seal and coolant mixture through my heater core alone using the connections. a hot water pump is about $60 pushing through a copper coil sitting on a propane burner with a bucket reservoir. i feel should be safer than running it through the entire system...

Wouldn't the proper solution be to trade the Ford in on a Toyota?

[@JohnSmith-lw2bm]

Yes it would.

@@jkeelsnc They make the avanza in passenger and cargo versions although I wouldn't recommend it for full highway as the tiny 99hp engine will struggle getting to high speeds

Scotty my Toyota 3vze on acceloration feels like it is pushing a one ton truck. than it seems to take a big gulp of air and it takes off like a scarred rabbit HELP.

[@Gisiebob]

watched another head gasket sealer video by Scotty that had some significant differences. curious if it's just a different technique or if one is superior?
