...the seals at the back of the heads where the return line from the heater
come in leak...and they leak coolant.  COOLANT, Roger you dunderhead!
Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Well, I have an excuse.  I had so many mysterious leaks in my V8 that I
forgot which was what.  It wouldn't surprise me if one of the leaks was Coca
Cola for all of that!

Seriously though, folks, if I were to have another V8, I think a part of the
process would be to pull the engine and replace all the rubber gizzies,
grommets and seals that I could find.  And, since it was out there, who
could  resist pulling off those glorious heads, and smoothing out all those
nasty valves that have been in there for those one hundred thousand miles?
And while there also, why wouldn't those air passages and fuel passages just
look a whole lot better if they were smoothed over and all shiny and
bright...and where did I see those slightly warmer cam shafts advertised....
