Default possible bhg

my friends supra has bubbles in his rad.(86.5 7mge standard)

not oil but bubbles.
and sometimes smells like antifreeze.
were changing both rad hoses, this weekend.

other than bubbles in rad there is no bhg indications. oil is ok.

could exhaust gases be forced through the hg into coolant and cause bubbles??

the car does not overheat, or overflow coolant.

go to autozone and ask to rent a block test. It has a fluid that will change colors and indicate weather it is a bad hdg.

dependds where it blows, on 22r's ive had this problem, and it was dumping the compression into the cooling system. best way to test is fill with just water and let it run. if the water smells like fuel, its bhg
