Cooling System

With pressure tester, pressurize radiator to no more than 20 Lbs. If pressure drops, inspect for external leaks. If no leaks are apparent, remove tester and run engine until normal operating temperature is reached. Reinstall tester and observe. If after pumping tester, pressure builds up immediately, a possible leak exists from a faulty head gasket or crack in cylinder head or block.
