Hi @Mendel Leisk I have been following your incredibly helpful and patient posts with newbies like me and all types. I tagged you in a question I asked on a separate thread, did you happen to see that? I have some questions related moreso to the kinds of problems brought up in this thread. Would you have a moment to help me through some concerns I’m having regarding the shakes and loss of coolant? Only odd thing is I don’t have milky oil, white exhaust, or engine heating lights appearing, so the absence of these is giving me hope it’s not the dreaded head gasket. Is this false hope? Any input is appreciated from any members of course. This is a great group to be a part of. Thank you for any responses, and greetings from far off Australia!
