Re: Coolant in oil

I can soak the valve next Saturday LOL. I'm not going to go any further until I can make sure parts are available. Just for clarification, the coolant that was in the oil pan was green Prestone antifreeze. It wasn't clear or rusty.

Re: Coolant in oil

Coolant in oil

Newb here. I don't own the T, just think of me as Jay Leno's mechanic LOL. It has sat for 2 or 3 years, so I'm trying to get it running. The owner said he drove it when he first bought it.
