Thanks.
I was going to do that coolant combustion check, but a couple of the videos I watched said the thermostat needed to be open for that to work. At that point I suspected the thermostat wasn't working. (The lower hose on my subaru is way warmer than the 96 4R.)
Chris Fix had a video that said if you have a no spill coolant funnel, you can use that to look for combustion gases, in lieu of the combustion gas fluid tool. I followed his method and didn't see any bubbles.
Isn't the leakdown test superior?
Or would the combustion gas test find things the leakdown test would not?
