Car Forum / Mazda / Mazda Miata / August 2008Replacing Coolant
I think that I found out why this Miata was overheating. http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/pat/gunkedup.jpg Pat >I think that I found out why this Miata was overheating. > >http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/pat/gunkedup.jpg > >Pat Can you imagine what the inside of the head and block look like. Coolant anyone? OzOne of the three twins I welcome you to Crackerbox Palace. Did you ever change or use coolant? Looks like pure water to me... I hope you cleaned the coolingchannels thoroughly...

This is not my car, at least, not to drive. This is the 1991 Silverstone that I am parting out. That coolant may be the original stuff that Mazda put in 18 years ago. Anyone need a 1.6 liter engine cheap? :-) Pat Can you send it overseas for, say, $100? ;) Jeroen --- | > Did you ever change or use coolant?

I am about to start burning US one dollar bills for heat before long at the rate things are going. :-/ Pat OUCH! I don't think there's ANY coolant in that sucker unless rust acts as a coolant!

It will be interesting to see what the rest of it looks like since I am selling the external parts from it and then will see if anyone wants the block to rebuild. Pat |
