Picking up Block Test Today

scruffboy · 05-31-2007, 11:19 PM

You listed a lot of causes but I performed the test with a NAPA kit and the fluid definitely turned yellow so I'm assuming BHG. This symptom (water out of overflow) has started slowly, but now on long drives (which I don't do often) it is definitely more noticeable. I only drive the car 2 or 3 times a week, usually under 10 miles. The symptom showed up a couple of months ago. Can a lot of damage happened since then? What I want to know is should I sell the car. I'd rather keep it. Even now it drives nice. But this is an expensive fix. I tell ya, when the shit hit's the fan, it really hits it. One more question. This kit was expensive, is it re-usable?

Yes the block tester is reuseable. Just rinse out the testing tube and discard the "used" fluid. You should have a 16oz bottle of that blue test fluid which will last you literally dozens of block tests.

Just make sure you rinse out the testing tube really good.
