why is my detroit series 60 pushing back all the antifreeze into the bottle?


Sure sounds like a head gasket. If you can open the radiator (while it’s not under too much pressure), look for bubbles in the coolant while the engine is running.

  2. blown head gasket engine compression leaking into coolant causing lots of pressure in the radiator pressure being released into the radiator overflow you probably can see air bubbles blowing in the overflow

  4. While I aggree that a blown head gasket can cause this, so can a bad radiator cap.

    You should replace the radiator cap about every 3 years.

    To check for the head gasket, when the engine is hot you can slightly pinch off the over flow hose, and if the other hoses pressureize where you can’t squeeze them easily, then the head gasket is shot…. You can also take the Anti-freeze in to a radiator shop and they can test it for suspended Exhaust gasses, which is the deffinative test and leaves no doubt on the condition of the head gasket.

    A compression test is also a good indication of a blown gasket.
