Thought I was done then white smoke
« on: October 16, 2022, 03:43:39 PM »
So I finally sorted my electrical, gauges, brakes and suspension

Was warming it up and topping off fluid to go for a ride when i looked up and see white smoke all down my block...

After i let it cool down sure enough my radiator was low

Pulled the engine apart and think it was #6 leaking on me
