@@leonardleveque3745 did you watch? It had a freeze plug replaced and the coolant was improperly refilled. It left too little coolant in the engine to keep it from overheating.
One of my professors in college drove and serviced Vettes, and some students couldn't understand how he could afford a car like this in the mid 80's, but he made his money restoring these. I also had a boss that owned a mini Vette Opel, and it was a nice looking car.
Awesome. Lol 1984, that was knight rider’s big sister. 😂😂 I have to mitt it, and I’ve always been kind of a car guy, I’ve never paid any attention to air in the coolant I just kept it topped off and the overflow filled which should sort of automatically do that if it’s designed halfway decently. Even at two grand that’s a pretty awesome by the 500 was amazing, awesome deal made for a great video as well. Lol 🙌🏼
I would have gave you 2 grand in a second great deal for a great car that deserves to be restored hopefully it goes to someone that will restore it and it not go to waste
Che-yeah ! 300% Profit crazy like a fox & absolutely drive whatever the snot you want, Can't wait to see what you buy next. Got a local artist it's 2 Mater painting 🖌️🎨 time I'm a thinking go crazy with it ,. It's a farm truck . Good times to you my brother.... Best David
Great video this is going to help me out a lot with my 85 chevy camaro I also been having some Overheating issues And I could not get the air bubbles out of the cooling system at all Here in Florida we have no hills so I think I need to Jack the vehicle up because doing it without jacking it up is not working for me And all of the cooling is getting everywhere keeps coming out of the radiator So there definitely is an air pocket in there somewhere if u have Any more tips that would be great thanks
Hi I have one chicken egg under a little heat lamp with a bowl of water in the tank and it is growing!! But when it hatches what do I do with the baby chikki and will it get lonely what can I feed it can you please make a video about this it would help me alot
no august...it doesn't work buddy...that's why I did it this way. I spent 3 hours pouring coolant in the radiator and still had air pockets..hence the reason I made the video..$15 solution to the problem
Back when you picked up the bed I questioned you about getting it because you were so tall I would find that a very uncomfortable ride but you know boys like their toys and the girls I have the wrong ideas for toys mine personally around guns bows fishing and hunting
Or knew of a cracked head that was allowing the exhaust gases to escape into the coolant. Hence the reason why when he added antifreeze it came out metallic color the same color found in most engine stop leaks so that's a strong indication that the head or heads where trash.
I agree...something is astray...you can see the additive floating around...sometimes additive itself can be the cause of oveheating as it interferes with the heat dissipation in the block and cloggs up coolant passeges
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer I am betting on a cracked head or head gasket Time will tell I would take off very far until I felt comfortable with the cooling system. Maybe it needs to be flushed. Looks like a lot of stuff came from the motor when the thermostat opened up
Good tip. I'll use it when I finish restoring my old farm truck.
yessir worked like a charm!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Josh how much did that "belch" funnel cost approximately???
@@veulmet rather have a link and ill donate it to myself
Why did it overheat in the first place? Bad cap, cracked head, blown gasket? Any idea, problem may still exist.

Corvette content taught me something today...now to find a $500 deal
Great tips, lots of people think just add coolant and they are ready to go. Have a Safe Day
Bubbles in your coolant can also mean your exhaust is going into your coolant and your coolant is going out your tail pipe as steam.

That funnel pretty handy I have one too and it helps out
Awesome flip Josh. 👍🏻
You need a vaccuum pump to vaccuum the air out of the radiator. Snap-on sells a vaccuum powered by an air compressor.
Cory, That would be the correct way to do it.but this method works temporarily.

I had a 84, chevy added more electronics than a space shuttle . First year of the cool dashboard.
Was hear
And learned something new
Ŵooooooo!

Hello from Minnesota. Nice job!
👍Good stuff 🇺🇸Fun stuff! I’d have to replace the stat w/ lower temp.

take it to the mechanic and have them do a pressurized coolant exchange
Looking for the funnel link.
My dad always said good cars should always have a coolant temp gauge and voltmeter.
Thanks.
Glad to hear ya flipped it for a 300% profit.
That cooling system needs a decent flush. The coolant looked like river water when the thermostat opened up.
Most likely a stop leak for the exhaust gasses getting into the coolant
Isn't there typically a bleeder screw at the top of the block you can use rid the air from the coolant system?

Do you even know how to do a donut Tyler? 😂
This can also be done by leaving the rad cap off until it burps the air out, you'll lose coolant, but then just keep adding it back.

@@StoneyRidgeFarmer, works for me, but no problem. 15 bucks is cheap and works, so it's all good.
Nice 😊
That looks like my dads old corvette he sold 2.5-3 yrs ago
Funnel link?
click the link to my amazon page..it's in every video description...just click the "show more" button and you'll see all sorts of stuff buddy
WOOOOOO 🇺🇲
Some dealership would’ve figured that out and taking him for 10 $12,000 for it

Cool…oh, sorry.
You sold it too cheap I think. Those 80s cars are desirable again. Maybe you gave a buddy a deal? The interior was amazing condition.
The previous owner must be a bit slow

Give that guy some gas before he leaves the farm so he doesn't run out once he hits the pavement!
You should NEVER OWN a CORVETTE ! 😬😦😧😲😠
