    Judging by the newer looking TrickFlow cylinder heads, studs and nice looking headgaskets, the current customer bought truck the way it sits, and previous owner had a coolant problem, order the trick flow heads studs etc, put it together to find that it still had the same issue, filled it full of stop leak, hence the Sandy looking stuff, and sent it down the road, for the current customer to deal with, unfortunately to many people that scam people in the world anymore, and stop leak causes all of it!

  • @bulkchart3239

    that sandy looking stuff is from a bottle of head gasket sealer. i tried it on an old chevy 2.8 v6 years ago and then still had to pull the heads off of it. so i saw it leave that stuff all around the cylinders. and the only time i have seen a crack in a cylinder wall was because i kept driving another engine with a bad piston slap in it. don't know if that was the cause here or not. since the cylinder is scored, that would increase the gap between the piston skirt and the cylinder wall. if it was bad enough then it could have caused the slap which lead to the crack. that's just an educated guess though. but i'd almost bet money that sandy stuff is head gasket sealer!

    Another item you need to consider, is the Radiator. If i'm not mistaken, the Oil cooler runs though the radiator. I've seen those leak before and start to mix coolant with oil. Just something to check. I'm more familiar with Mopars. Not really a ford guy. I could be remembering wrong. But i do think the cooler is part of the radiator on this one.

  • @BT-zw2ix
    @BT-zw2ix 19 годин тому +7

    It’s very likely that cross-contamination occurred between the coolant and transmission lines, which corroded at the bottom of the radiator (contiguous). The milky appearance in the coolant is a clear sign of this problem. The sand is likely carried over by the coolant from the corroded line at the bottom of the radiator sucking up sand while driving on dirt roads or on the beach. I experienced the same milky coolant issue in my 2008 Pathfinder when cross-contamination happened with the radiator. I strongly suggest you also check the transmission fluid. Since the gasket looks fine, the issue could be transmission fluid mixing with the coolant. It'd be a matter of time before the tranny dies without warning usually.
    Just my two cents; I hope this helps!

    I have been having this problem in my 03 Dodge 3.7l for years. The heater core stops up with this sandy stuff all the time. At first I thought it was crucible material left over from the block casting. Now I believe it is the antifreeze breaking down into crystals from age because it is becoming more of a problem. I have always used Mopar antifreeze mix with distilled water. I need to find a heater hose filter and drain the block with a flush. I like to find out what it really is.

    • @stephenpage-murray7226
      @stephenpage-murray7226 15 годин тому

      Don’t use distilled water. Use demineralised water.
      During the distillation process, water is vaporized into its gaseous phase, so all its impurities are left behind. These impurities include a number of minerals, including “calcium” and “magnesium,” the two components of water “hardness.” The water is then condensed back into its liquid phase, so the resulting liquid is pure water - in fact, some of the purest water on earth. But the problem is that when water is distilled, or “stripped,” of its minerals and impurities, the resulting solution is composed of chemically imbalanced “ions.” This leaves distilled water “ionically hungry,” so it will actually strip electrons from the metals in a cooling system as it attempts to chemically re-balance itself. As it chemically removes electrons from the metals of cooling system components, distilled water eventually does extreme damage that could lead to cooling system failure.

      ​@@stephenpage-murray7226If you buy pre mixed coolant from any manufacturer it is distilled water they are mixing with their products. If you get the concentrate they tell you to mix it to 50/50 the same way with the same water. All of them say the same thing. The coolant is developed with corrosion inhibitors along with other stuff that keep electrolysis at bay to be mixed the way it was developed. Just needs to be the correct coolant for the specific vehicle.

    I don't like fluid to coolant heat transfer systems. We don't get hard freeze where I live, so I install regular oil-to-air coolers. I've read where transmission fluid can be over-cooled, but if you think about it, how can a vehicle run just fine when it's 50-degrees out? Besides, my temp gauge shows normal trans temps around 110-to-125, so don't tell me that's too "cold."

    Most likely casting sand, its been in there since the block was cast by ford. Mostly just lounges in the bottom of the block water jacket and doesn't effect anything. But occasionally it can become a nuisance but unrelated to this failure unless its a type of headgasket in a can i haven't encountered before

    IMHO Stuff: Bad coolant loaded with solutes that precipitated out in the engine block.
    Might also explains the crack in the block... cavitation zone in the coolant.

      at least on the timing cover the bolts are symmetrical on both sides and he could see that one bolt had an extra weird washer on it which didnt match the others , also the oil pan bolts should be all the same length and size i believe and maybe a couple was a little longer for no reason

      ​@@layzbaguette8340the longer ones were supposed to go into the oil pan at the rear main seal carrier.

When a mechanic tells you it's going to be $?,???.00 to fix your $h!T AND they know how to disassemble, repair & put it back together... the only thing you should is, "Thank you. Call me when it's done, because I'm not doing that"! Great job so far!

    I applied a thin coating of RTV silicone sealant on the front side of the engines oil pan gasket where it mates up to the front timing cover gasket because I had a crack welded up in the oil pan for my 5.7 litre Chevrolet LS1 V8 engine & even though I filed & sanded where it was welded smooth, it had a few scratch marks where the person who welded it roughly filed the weld back on the gasket mating surface, so it was good insurance to make sure that I didn't have to remove the oil pan again if it leaked oil.
    I dummy fitted it without the gasket & I ran a 0.2mm (0.008") in between the gap, it fitted snugly so I fitted the oil pan which hasn't leaked for 6 years.
    I did the same thing with the rear main oil seal carrier a bit over 8 years ago just so that I can be confident that it would seal, I applied a thin film of RTV silicone sealant onto the oil pan gasket & onto the bottom of the rear main seal carrier when doing a rear main oil seal replacement which still doesn't leak.
    I noticed that the apprentice was using normal spanners on the pipe fittings, when I did work experience as a mechanic in 1993 I was told to use pipe (aka flare nut) spanners on those nuts !

    Diesels could erode the outside of the cylinder from cavitation. Diesel knock & pinging would blow the coolant away from the metal of the cylinder. Caused small chunks of the block to blow away. Would suspect heavy pinging & over boost.
