it could be rust. can it? or just a clot of dirt
do a full radiator flush and top up with coolant...see if that gets rid of that crud.
Also , might be ur radiator is rusting from the inside...
I'll donate to the charity
want my old one?
how many KM your radiator done?
it could actually be the insides of your rubber hoses? what coolant have/are you using?
i have never seen anything like that before - which bit of the radiator did it come from? very weird!
can you provide some relativity scale - is that clump of stuff the size of a 20c piece or samller?
best HG = OEM honda...
mine is also currently takin up heaps of water, ive decided 2 park it till i figure it out.
i got no idea wat that could b, rust wouldnt form in that shape or color, let alone that much. flush out ur radiator, then c wat happens
let us know how it goes.
its about 2 20c pieces..
and i got it off my radiator cap :(
radiator hasnt done much kms.. only about 9 months since i serviced it.. altough it did have a bit of shit in it from blowing my old engine..
but i flushed it all out
this is all new stuff.. and the water seems to be goin down fast.. every 2 days or so..
if ur loosing that much water, then its a problem. i drove my car about 100kms on tuesday, took about 2ltrs of water, with 2 stops. ide have urs checked out, might b sumthin small like a hose, or major like a water pump or head.
ill have an ask about that stuff u found, juss gimmi an hr or so
but theres no leaks...
but its still losin water?
hey dude, i just asked my old man whos a mechanic.
i remember u said that ude done ur head before, he says that gunk could b oil from when u done the head. it could have seeped in2 the radiator, because it wasnt flushed out properly when u were gettin it fixed.
he says be careful coz the that amount of gunk could have bloked ur radiator, which means water may b blocked from reachin the gasket, and u may have blown it. that may b y ur losing water aswell.
You can be leaking water into the pistons and then burning it and blowing it out the exhaust
Then there are now visable signs of a water leak
maybe just retouque the head
gotta take out the cams and shit
but if you go that far you might as well change the gasket
yeh... well c tomorrow !
i think 99.9% chance its my head gasket..
hmm rebuild here we come
didnt u just get a b16a?
just about 12months ago now lol
and i didnt do anything to it when i got it.. just dumped it straight it so i should be happy with 12 months lol
hey guys, this is what my radiator looked like after blowing my head gasket, Brown oily deposits in the radiator, always collected at the cap too.

Hope this helps
found a hole in my radiator !! it was weird.. didnt leak until i decided to jack the car up this morning and it started leaking from the side
but still doesnt explain all the shit in my radiator...
its some form of stop leak. they always got that sandy stuff in them to seal up the cracks...
hey guys if you need a radiator i remember buying one from a joint thats recoed for like 100 bucks or so...
its in warrick farm, re-conditioned...
i dont think the stop leak looks like that though. could b reminence of ur old gasket
