Yea you know, when that little gauge pegs out to the right..... you just keep going!!!!! Then when the steam comes out from under the hood...... well, that's just pyrotechnics, just for show right.
That’s about right. We overhauled that engine 3 years ago.
Ran it low,never checked it and is now cooked. Bet he kept driving with check gauges light on. Should have noticed when heat went away...
