GM 2.8L V6 Engine Problem
Hey Larry. Actually what a cooler thermostat means is that it opens to allow coolant flow through your engine at a lower temperature than the standard 190 degrees thermostat. That being so the coolant would be cycling through your engine at a safer temperature. The coolant would be colder than the engine is before the thermostat opens so if your engine is at 140 degrees when colder temperature coolant begins cycling through the engine id rather the engine be colder than 190 degrees. Its the whole idea of not using hot water to melt an icy window because the window will crack. Same thing just backwards.
Now exhaust doesnt move through the block except inside the cylinders before expelled through your exhaust valves. The exhaust then moves through separate passageways through your heads and intake manifold. If you have exhaust getting into your cooling system then you have an internal crack on the head between an exhaust port and coolant port. Your head gaskets blowing is a result of a few different possibilities. Least to worry about would be old gasket going bad but it could also be from the head bolts not being torqued back down to OEM specifications which should be 40 foot pounds + a quarter turn on all 16 bolts. Over torquing can result in stretched bolts and warped heads and under-torquing can result in excessive head gasket failure and/or warped heads. |

Oh, you're right: 2014-1994 = 20, not 10. I lost 10 years somewhere. Yah, it was probably a code message. |
