Cleaned what I could off the inside of the tank--most of it stuck to the top and sides of tank. Ran about 4 gallons of water through the radiator while running the motor. refilled with water and let it set overnight---pulled cap off and had white substance on it agina and the inside of the tank ahd a slight build up on it again. Had no problems wtih the motor or coolant when I started all upgrades in November. Only thing changed on motor was tintake manifold, has no cooler--4speed car--original top and bottom radiator tank with new core. Am thinking some lefover stuff from the recoring process--radiator guy doesn't yet agree. Any other insight woould be appreciated. Going to get some flush and pull t-stat housing tonight and see what is there
thanks
