OK here is a theoretical question for you 996 engine experts out there...
The engine overheated due to a loss of coolant from a blown (water) hose next to the right side upper valve cover... assuming that this correct which head was more likely to overheat first or worse when the water pump started pumping air?
Only an expert would know the answer to this...your thoughts ? |
Coolant flow diagram:
Because air is induced into the system, and it tends to rise and trap in the highest points of the system, the most common cracking point is adjacent to the valve seats and plug wells where the cooling jacket passages are smallest and the air becomes trapped:
Once air is in the system, and particularly if an overheat occurs, you have a pretty equal chance that either, or both heads are cracked. I'd pull them both.
