The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop engine issues after its long sleep

Afternoon update videos:

not super cold, but not operating temp

at operating temp and thermostat open

Lots of smoke, maybe steam and a couple of backfires. When it cools down, I'll check radiator levels. This morning I checked and could not find any condensation on the oil filler cap or dipstick.lipstick.

Radiator levrl update: lost about 1/2 inch of coolant level after running the engine and thermostat opening.
