      From: otranto@puglia.com              Here's the scene: '94 Surf 3.0 SSR Limited. Ascending a long gentle       gradient at 60 mph - temperature normal. Background ticking noise       becomes evident, followed quickly by a huge explosion and steam issuing       from both sides of the hood. Both the spigot and cap blown off the top       of the radiator. Obvious fatal blow between a cylinder and the water       jacket.       Now in the repair shop with the head off. No sign of a significant       gasket leak but one cylinder has obvious evidence of water ingestion -       white deposits on piston, valves and manifolds.       What's happened? - any ideas? Has anyone had this happen?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
