I F-ed Up My Rebuild
#11
don't go pulling it out yet.
fill the coolant system up then do a coolant pressure test, if it holds pressure up to 15psi your rebuild is probaly OK in the coolant department.
What has your oil cooler been doing while your engine was out of the car? just sitting there open to the elements perhaps? Good source for moisture if so.

My oil cooler has been sitting in my garage. And I am pretty sure the rebuild is messed up cuz, when I fill up the system, it isn't full a couple of seconds later. When the key is on the coolant buzzer immidiatly start wailing at me. And at one point all the coolant that I put in just went into the overflow.

I bought a core engine for $20 once. It had good compression so I took a chance and installed it in my car. I kept adding coolant and after 2 plus gallons I figured something was wrong. I checked the oil dipstick and sure enough it was 1/2 way up the stick. I decided to start the car anyway just for the hell of it. Damn thing started right up and idled great. I shut it off immediately and decided this will be the engine I rebuild for my car. The engine is currently at my builders shop. Every engine he rebuilds goes on the test stand. He doesn't usually let an engine leave his shop without running it for 3 hours.
Whats the point of my story? Well, no real point just rambling on about stuff.
