I’m thinking he meant the transmission fluid level fill plug.

If they poured glue into the coolant filler neck, it would go into the engine.

Maybe the radiator was leaking, but they couldn't replace it because of the fused transmission lines, so they tried a stop leak product.

But who knows, it's like pulling teeth trying to get information. With every post, we have to try to figure out what is really happening with this car, and never really knowing why OP is hacking up the car.

Maybe stop with the speech to text, stop talking to your phone. Manually type the words.

It’s a good mystery novel, but no joy in finding out what is the problem .

it ran then quite that’s why it was bizarre then I did a psi test on cylinders was weak 45 psi though it was that phantom engine &$@? Sucks cause this is a great engine and car generally though I typically ride Honda Magna third gen and only have had Chevy Concorde or borrow the girls Yaris here and there so…

How is it possible that it ran good for 3 weeks with no cooling?

You replaced the piston rings based only on a compression test? You should have followed that with a leak down test. You might have bad valves or a warped head or block or a blown head gasket!

You broke the radiator drain petkawk, So why were you trying to drain the coolant in the first place? And then why cut the transmission lines? Why not remove the lower radiator coolant hose? Just because the petkawk broke, dies not mean someone put glue in the radiator.

prior to this car, what is your training or experience working on cars?

Made a quick video on it


though originally I figured I’ll would just attack everything on it while I was working on it as it was still “running” great car sucks that I’m gutting it.
