. . . and in (apparent) conclusion, I decided to give it the old college try, dump two tubes of AlumaWeld in it, and see what happens.
First thing I noticed upon start up, was that immediately there was absolutely no steam coming out the tailpipe. This struck me as strange, because there was no way that the AlumWeld would have had time to do anything. After all, the engine was still cool to the touch.
I let it run for about 45 minutes and still there was no steam coming out.
Previously, I had run it twice for at least twenty minutes each. Could there really have been that much residual water in the system that was burning off? The world may never know . . .
Well, I've changed the oil and put about 100 miles on it. Coolant swap is coming up, like, real soon. Still no smoke.
Runs fine although it seems that the timing is still not right. And I still get this little 'pop' when letting off the gas pedal to shift gears. At least I can drive it again.
Thank you all for your helpful advice. Next up: 134 conversion.
