[QUOTE="Van@RevanRacing, post: 10782896, member: 69847"] There are a number of things. Namely some of the elements in the water (non-distilled) Another thing that can happen is inadequate flushing of the heads and block of the former anti-freeze or coolant per se. Then you mix the two anti-freeze's one old and one new and possibly different brands or with water and it's not a good combination. Sounds like the owner wasn't able to vacate the system adequately and properly and he was mixing products. To truly flush these systems you need to pressurize the system after draining the radiator so that you can get remnants in the heads and block to the bleed point and past the thermostat. Refill and pressurize. [/QUOTE]
