Thumbs down Re: How do I bleed the coolant system???

Well, I did what you said and it seemed to work better. But, I noticed when the car is idling, it runs a little rough. Kind of like one spark plug wire is off. Also, when I took for a 20-25 min drive, after bleeding, at stops I could smell a faint smell of coolant in the exhaust. It has that sweet smell that stings your nose a little. Also, towards the end of the ride, the temp was starting to get higher and higher. The temp would come down, but it was getting before coming down. I mentioned I had a car in the passed that blew a head gasket and it did the exact same things as this. My previos car would blow all of the coolant out with the exhaust very fast but this doesnt. I guess I have a blown head gasket. That sucks!! Oh well. Any other suggestions would be, again and always, greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,
Doug
