Yes on all three could it just be the head gasket
I had new head bolts put in when they bleed it Brown stuff came out
Torque yield head bolts have to be torqued correctly and in the sequence pattern 3 or 4 times Torqued to 25 LBS in sequence then back to # 1 head bolt back it off and then torqued to the next bolt in sequence back it off and re- torque as the step before continue this until all head bolts are torqued then do this procedure again torqueing the bolts again Then put the torque wrench down and get a breaker bar and give each bolt a 90 degree turn in sequence repeat with another 90 degree turn Or go to victor gasket and see if the procedure is the same
Ok I'm having someone else look at it Tuesday I don't think the one that did it knows what he was doing I've been waiting a week for him finally gets it done and still doesn't run rite
I also agree on the flushing the radiator I don't think he did that rite either
when backing off the head bolt do them one at a time torqueing it back down before proceeding to the next bolt
Can i send u a video tomorrow of Tuesday of the way it sounds
