1991 toyota 4x4 started overheating. Kept extra water jug with me and drove it a few more times. Sometimes it didn't overheat, but usually did. Decided to flush the radiator with water to see if some rust or other contaminant would come out. Surprisingly, found a lot of thick, dark-gray looking sludge. Where did it possibly come from? Decided to check thermostat and water pump. Found this sludge in both areas. This is as far as I've gotten. Have waterpump and radiator pulled off at this point. Help!!
Hi maybe i can help you when you find sludge in either the water or oil it means that you have a bad head gasket and the fluids are mixing
