Okay I finally got the shadow back in running condition, and of course something else is wrong. Steam from the tail pipe when I first start it not a whole lot but enough where I am a little concerned. It has not been run for more than 3hrs in 2+months. Is this a sign the head gasket is bad? It doesnt over heat or even get above average, yet. It doesnt lose compression, yet but I havent done a compression test. If this is a head gasket what is the best head-repair-in-a-bottle to get?

 

The steam your talking about does it smell sweet? Also do you notice any coolant lose? Also if you leave the radaitor cap off does it look like exhaust coming out or lots of bubbles? I wouldn't do the head repair in the bottle if it leaking in. A head gasket for a 2.2 or 2.5 only cost 25 bucks and an afternoon with tools to do.

 

Its doesnt smell sweet more stinky than anything else not really any bubbles at all in the radiator just the normal couple little ones every now and then. and its a 3.0

 

I would watch your coolant to see it gets low. If doesn't then I would worry.
