Dropping the thermo into boiling water, I knew. :-)
I have the car back together and let it run for quite a while and it appears that I am still getting the blowby so I'm going to try Restore.
The upper radiator hose still has nothing in it and the car has a 160 degree thermostat. It is cool here though so going to go for a drive and see what transpires.
I also pulled the radiator cap off and let the car warm. Once is was warmish, I revved the engine to 2000rpm and the coolant did get sucked down so that would indicate no flow restriction.
I'm going to go for a quick run with some WOT and see how the car acts, then let it cool and check the plugs (I know, not a real test) and also check to see if the coolant is low. If there is a head gasket leak, the coolant should still go into the rad because if it was leaking that bad, the exhaust would fog all the time and I highly doubt the car would run, right!?
