Confirmed hvac mixer thing!

I installed my cubbypod, which is pretty disappointing.... , and noticed that I can hear the gurgle when the white arm is moving.

I hope the shop did... Ive never taken my cars to a mechanic and have always repaired or rebuilt my own equipment. I bought the leggy already rebuilt by a shop in Portland somewhere a little over a year ago before I bought the car. :x I did get receipes for new oem parts like pistons, oil pump, plugs, gaskets, etc.. No oil or coolant mixing anywhere that I can tell, and the bottom of the engine is clean, so that rules out seepage in my mind. Externally anyways.

Yes heater high and at 85

No temp fluxuations so far but, still getting the gurgle. I believe I heard the heater door the other day and it did sound different.

I dont mean to sound doom and gloom so soon, but I have been eye balling prices on EJ20x engines. Im not sure if I should go that route or just buy a forged and assembled ej255/7 and find some heads to bolt on. I am not looking for max power by any means as the leg is my DD/dad wagon, but a man needs passing power!

Im taking the hose to the heater core tonight as JmP outlined

Thanks for the replies and the link! I will do the actuator maintenance, but I am thinking it is a pocket of air. I have noticed the temp gauge drop at times after the car has come to operating temp.

I am not sure why the system wont self burp with the over flow at the proper level. I am hoping this is not an underlying head gasket problem. The engine was rebuilt approx 13k miles ago and I do not have any other signs at this time.

I will give the force flush a shot this weekend.

If I have the hvac system off, then shut the car down, would I still hear the actuator?

Thanks, Ruby

Hello everyone, I seem to have developed an air pocket in my heater core. I have followed the procedure outlined in the owners manual for burping the system but have had no luck. I also tried using a burping funnel with the nose of the car jacked up with no success.

Any tips? I can hear it gurgling in the dash when I shut the engine off!

Thanks, Ruby
