Metal snout. Hahahaa I'm gunna have to google that. I let it sot for a while then drove about 6 miles . It's idling and under 1 rooms and been running for 15 minutes and still hasn't moved from about 150 or 145 and yes I have the 180 t stat in . There was gung in my radiator cap and when put on defrost r heat there's a the my and a pump sound . That wasn't there before . I'm on a base right now so they'll flip of I start messing under my hood

 

Thumb every now and then when it's on heat or defrost under , right under 1 Rpms

 

This thing. Check the threads on it and where the hose fits on it it gunks up.



Also if you still have problems start your own thread in the tech section to receive maximum help

 

Oh no I cleaned that off and made sure that thing was tight as hell when I put it back on.. , but I'll double check

 

Yes. sorry . Thank you

That's really not all that bad.... I have seen FAR worse.

 

I would say it is a big reason of why I was burning so much oil.

 

Now ya know where it was going.

 

From the looks of them, the guides weren't all that bad for that kind of mileage. If there was a habit of price shopping for fuel involved, that's not bad at all.
