Where's the Coolant?
I had the radiator hoses off, both knock sensors out and I figured all of the coolant must be drained. The book says the capacity is 17.8quarts. When I went to refill, I put in two gallons of anti freeze and 1 1/2 gallons of distilled water, that's all that would fit. My calculations come out with 14 quarts. Where is the extra 3.8 quarts? I ran it and only could put another pint or two in. Do you think the heater core and recovery tank holds the missing 3 quarts? :confused: :skep:

Re: Where's the Coolant? (Strick)
Yup. If you've pulled off everything you say you have, and nothing more came out, then the rest is in the heatercore and overflow bottle.
Besides, 3qrts is not much, so I wouldn't worry about it.
