Thanks for all the help on my other post. By the way, I checked the thermostats and 1 was wide open. Hit the nail right on the head.<br /><br />Since we had the engine partially open, we decided to check one of the heads. We thought maybe one of the rubber stoppers might be compressed and blocking the water flow. We found abrasions and some aluminum scrapings on two of the cylinders in the one head. We have not looked at the other one yet. I was told that this happens because the rings are bad. I was told to replace all the pistons and chug along.<br /><br />Is this good advice? What is the risk of just keeping the current pistons and using it the way it is?<br /><br />Thanks.
