Losing coolant

I have a 2013 ,427 60th Anniversary loosing coolant , no external leaks, pulled the plugs no coolant in the cylinders and none coming out of the exhaust, all the plugs looked clean and good. There isn't any oil in the water and no water in the oil. Car runs great no misses or hesitation whatsoever. At this point I'm stumped ?? Pulling the heads and checking is my next step.

Do you have any other sugestion as to where the coolant is going ???

Thanks,

Bob

I assume you've done a pressure test? If not, do that before pulling the heads.

^^^^ What he said. have your local auto parts store pressure check the cap on your coolant tank. If it's bad, coolant will boil away. Actually, the water will boil away leaving the antifreeze behind.

You can buy the adapter for $30 on rock auto to pressure the system.
