Re: Water Pump constantly loses Prime
I drained and backflushed the system and it looks like it had
a ton of stop leak block sealer in it. I think it may have a cracked block or head. Normally no reason I can think of for stop leak in big mopars as head studs are blind and intake does not carry water. I always let it cure a couple of days and then flushed it out....not leaving it to gum up everything. I will have my neighbor (radiator shop) check for exhaust in radiator. No dipstick in engine........ So time to drain the oil and take a peek. This should of dawned on me last week but I trusted the guy from who I purchased the car so never really considered the possibility .

Re: Water Pump constantly loses Prime
John, I hate that you guys are having issues. Like I told you, ever since I built the RMRE tribute car, this car was loaned out for license passes. I am asking around about any cooling issues that no one told me about. Indy Cylinder Head was the last person in that engine and we never had a lick of trouble. I will be happy to drive out and pick car and trailer up at my expense and return what LITTLE money I asked for it. Bring it home and donate it to the blind or something.
No good deed goes unpunished. |

Re: Water Pump constantly loses Prime
Sorry to hear you may have a cracked block or cylinder head. This can be the cause of your water pump prime issues I stated in my last post. Hope all works out for you.
