How much would investment be? Gnarly pic! That looks like hardened up head gasket sealer like Steel Seal to me. Imagine what the rest of the cooling system must look like! I would be concerned with the radiator and heater core passages also. If the previous owner suspected a bad head gasket it is quite possible that a chemical sealant, and perhaps way too much of it, was used causing this clog. Yes, it can be cleaned out, although if really severe and this looks like it might be a complete tear-down and trip to the machine shop may be the only way to clean all of it out.
It could cost a lot of money to do it properly. This situation is a great lesson. Register now to join our community of over , members and gain instant access to all we have to offer.

So it is important that the heat generated by the engine can escape. Le role of the radiator. This last one is rectangle shaped and is made up of pipes also named hoses. The is located at the front of the vehicle in order to be cooled with outside air. So, the coolant will circulate in these pipelines for absorb heat emitted by the engine.
Secondly he will be air cooled here enters the front of your Fiat Punto Evo when you ride. La liquid circulation is carried out thanks to the water pump who will allow to propel the liquid under pressure about hoses. This is electric and not works only when the thermostat detects some temperature generated by the engine. So in the event that your engine starts cold, the radiator does not turn on as long as the temperature is not at a certain level.
Le cooling system is filled with a liquid particular who must withstand large temperature variations especially for do not freeze. Indeed, to be able absorb the heat created without evaporating , it is essential that this liquid do not come to a boil. It is to do this that the coolant is of a special composition which allows to be reused various times, unlike fuel that must be refueled regularly.
Nevertheless, although the coolant does not come to a boil , he will vary in volume depending on the temperature.
