1994 Mustang GT Only bolt on mods to the motor.
So i changed my oil yesterday and while i was waiting for the oil to drain i check my cooling system. First i took a look at the radiator cap and i sow some dark green muck stuck to some parts of the cap. I then looked at the over flow and coolant looked clear enough but when i took the coolant low sensor out i sow some stuff on the sensor too. So today i did a flush and put in some old school Green coolant and when i took the over flow tank out i found 1 inch of Brown, gray and dark green muck at the bottom almost like some very fine sand/mud so i rinsed it all out.
Is this normal? could it be from not cleaning the overflow tank out for a long time? I have changed the fluid last about 3 years ago.
1. Since i have owned the car for 6 years i have had the Old school green but just last year i changed the top radiator hose and bought some PEAK Global (gold/yellow) to top it off Maybe 1/10th of a bottle because the bottle says for all make and models and i can add to any kind of coolant.
2. 3 years ago i put a new radiator and water pump in from Oriley's.
3. One time that i did a flush (3 years ago) i used tap water because i never knew about using distilled but i dont think that would cause a big reaction to cause muck.
Thanks JJ
