: : Took the Grabber out today(actually brought it home).I noticed a lot of aluminum in my coolant when checking everything out after getting it back together.There was a lot in it when I first drained the radiator but I figured that was from not being changed in forever.Has a "new" used radiator in it now,although its a little smaller than the original.So I know its not coming from there,if it was already in there to start.Where is this stuff coming from?Someone told me the water pump is going and its probably rubbing on the timing chain cover?Is that possible?I can't think of anything that is aluminum in this engine other than the water pump.Or is there?On a lighter note,it runs AWSOME with the new carb(Holley 4150 600cfm DP)and no pcv valves blowin' oil down the carb!!The Flowmasters even sound different, ie LOUDER!Thanks for any help Arnie.
