- coolant plug gets tight and will not seal because the threads are messed up in the cylinder head. looked down inside the passage and found oil mixing with coolant. checked the engine oil dipstick and no oil on dipstick. coolant reservoir is full of ice from coolant not being the correct mixture. Tapped threads in the head, installed plug with sealant and lock-tite, pressure tested cooling system and found leak at cylinder head water outlet, replaced cylinder head water outlet, pressure tested cooling system and held pressure, filled with coolant and performed exhaust gas test on cooling system, no indication of exhaust gases getting into the cooling system as of now. No guarantee there will not be issues down the road but as of now the vehicle seems ok.
