HI,
I pulled my 440 duster out of the garage today. unfortunatly we had a really cold winter. (-15C) and my antifreez to water ratio wasn't too high. ( I thought it was better than that)
I am concerned because I have lots of condensation coming out of the drivers side exhaust. I do have some coming out of the passenger, but no as much. when it warms up they both disapear. why would there be soo much coming out of one side? No X pipe just 3 inch duals.
I don't think my Rad was low ( it was low all last year because of no over flow) I have topped it up, and it looks ok after two days of running it in my driveway and around the block.
It had a miss in it, so I changed all the spark plugs and it seams fine now. I had to do this last year too.
I Checked the oil and it looks great.
but I pulled the oil cap breather off the valve cover and found some signs of oil/water mixing. I pulled the valve cover off on both sides, and It looked fine. It did have minor oil/water foam at some parts of the valve cover gasket, and a bit on the underside of the valve cover. but all valves/springs looked perfect. andf like I said, I see no signs of water in the oil when I check the dip stick.
Could this be from sitting for 8 monthes, and just burning off the excess condensation?
The car runs fine ( same as last year)
let me know
I am really hoping It didn't crack the block, or a head or anything. I hope I am over reacting.
Phil
