O.k. You all know of my heating probs by now. I have a three row radiator, 180* thermo, black magic fan, 20/80 mix w/water wetter, new 16 lb rad cap. Not only did my car still heat up in lowest tip of texas weather, the battery also drained. I will be getting a 130v. alt to deal with the battery drain. I was warned about the drain on the battery from the elec fan. When I popped the pressure relief valve on the rad cap, I noticed the water was very slightly murky. As it topped off, I could see some debris. Does this mean what I think it means? Blown head gasket/possible warped heads??? Could this possibly be the cause of my heating probs? If not this, then what??? I need some real help here guys. What am I looking at in terms of repair? If I ever needed you guys, it's now.
