Coolant coming out
Today i take out the valve cover to change the gasket and i notice that coolant coming out of two valve cover bolt holes.
there is no coolant in the rocker arma area and in the oil. it is not consuming water. what can i do to repair that? 95 cherokee xj HO 4x4. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...d3e42d32e.jpeg |
I think someone else brought this up also a few months back and think the conclusion was someone had tried to repair with either a inset or heli-coil and just hit the coolant passage. I would just drain coolant clean out those threads install valve cover and use some good high temp thread sealant let sit for a day to cure and fill back up and keep eye on the level. The valve cover gasket should seal out the antifreeze from getting inside the head.
