Problem: Car had been running warm all week (>210) then two days ago it overheated twice.
Background: My heater core went bad last year, so I added water and not coolant... Got a CRAZY amount of rust that I have been battling ever since.
What's next: I'm going to do an oil change and make sure it's not a cracked head. I think it's the radiator getting clogged with rust and not working well.
I've been entertaining the idea of running CLR through the engine and then replacing the water pump and the radiator.
Thoughts?
