What are the.......?
overheated engine. (pinging to destruction)
leaking (same, end of engine, in many cases)
I saw a corvette going fast one day, and saw his lower rad hose fail
at 70mph. (catastrophic, looked like Niagara falls)
i honked and waved, he flipped me off, and boom
he burned is motor up. (you made me remember that, at my age amazing.)
lets do the leak test.
get engine fully hot. no 1./2 way , fully, fully is 180 to 200F .
gauge in dash be damned. I pyro gun it. The honda manual shows better ways, drive it 20 miles, park.
then let it idle , doing the RAD fan test in the FSM.
the rad fan comes on , this fact tells you its REALLY HOT AND NORMAL.
so now just look with eyes, keep hands in pockets.
look at every hose and cooling parts on engine
see leaks.
at this time there is 14PSI coolant pressure, and any leaks
are all very obvious, and childs play to find, just look, and bingo
all hoses, waterpump (and its weep hole) and the RAD.
all big and small coolant lines. (many)
