it might be that the 4g63 runs hotter than most cars.... so maybe the heat is breaking it down quicker...

 

This is actually what I thought, but who knows.

 

Hi All,
Anyone got oil residue in their coolant overflow tanks? When I pull the cap on the radiator, there is no sign of oil mixing. I cleaned the overflow tank and about a week later the residue appeared again. Does'nt seem like a blown head gasket. The car runs fine.
Cheers,

 

Did you use Redline Water Wetter???

 

Yeah because I use the Water Wetter and have experienced this. WTF? Is it just what happens when you use this stuff?

 

Yes, I did use water-wetter. Is this the cause, and if so, why?

 

It is the cause, but I don't know why. Scared the **** out of me though. Now I am just pissed I put that **** into my car.

Here is my post from last week.

Thanks, will be flushing.

the oily stuff helps avoid rust.

 

Guys I had water wetter in my car and now I have a blow head gasket.... Everyone spread the word!!! Tell all Evo oweners to STOP using water wetter on their Evo's this is too much of a pattern. I didn't see an oil residue but my engine began to leak anti freeze and now Mitsu is saying I have a blown head gasket....

 

I'm sick to my stomach, even though I got Mitsu to replace this gasket under warrant I'm sick over the fact that their techs may not know how to handle such a detailed and lengthy job... I'm so damn worried for my car right now... It's out of commision for at least a week. I'm going tomorrow to take a look at my car and get a feel for whether or not they can handle this task. I'm actually thinking about selling it at this point because I think when I get it back it'll never run the same.

 

wow man I'm really sorry to hear about this. is there an actual pattern of blown head gaskets with evos that run water wetter?

 

I went to see if I could make a deal with the dealership to sell it back for an Endevor or something and they only wanna give me $22k and the buy out is $26k... I'm &ucked so bad right now... I wanna get rid of this car so bad now... I don't trust Mitsu to fix this head gasket at all

 

pattern!!!!

 

pattern!!!!! It's time to merge all of these!!!! We're in trouble guys!!!! Flush the Watter Wetter from your Evo's NOW!!!!
