Well you did not build that engine stand to be a display rack, it is OSHA and NASA certified to be a short term engine break in and storage rack. Remember I sent you the sticker.... for a 12er..

I'm trying. Gonna pick up some coolant this afternoon. Maybe I'll convince myself that everything is ok, and get it fired up this weekend.

Ha you said that email did NOT wake you up, now you are just busting on me to be mean. What coolant you running in that aluminium radiator? The kind FOR aluminium radiators? Lol more homework. Crank up the intro tunes with the disco ball and fire that BMF up. You got this, if not...we are here for you.

Thanks, Kubota! Results are now delayed a bit. Rich threatened to kidnap my cat if I didn't get that engine fired up today, so I fast tracked it. Well, I was filling the coolant, and sure as **** there's two leaks. I've got to pull the water pump and reseal it. Crap! Hopefully a parts store in town has the gaskets. But at least it happened on the engine stand. That's two victories for the engine stand!

Yes! I love sacrificial anodes. And it's probably quite relevant on the 460, as one I had in the early '80s blew thru TWO front covers where the aluminum rotted away at the waterpump passages.
Which reminds me: I better check the pH and running potential difference of the unknown (but nicely green) mix I have now.
Did you get the leak sorted out? I'm thinking the thru bolts from the water pump to the block are open to the coolant passage on the block side?

Sorry to hear about the leak, but like you said at least you found it while it was still on the stand. And at least it was a easy fix. Hang in there, we all are rooting for ya.
