Got the lower back on with new gaskets & rtv around coolant passages, heater core bypassed
Put everything back together, filled radiator with water & fired up.
Car started well, not any heavy smoke this time.
Car warmed up and started dripping water out both exhausts especially when revved.
No water in oil, coolant level is down a few inches for sure.
Not sure what to try next, should i show him how to do a cylinder pressure check
or crank over motor to see if any air bubbles come back up radiator?

Car ran for 20 minutes & drove it some. I lost about a 1/3 of the coolant!
condensation build up in exhaust is normal and will cause water out the pipes to a small degree....also if you got excessive coolant in the pipes, for crying out loud , go drive the car and burn it out, don't expect it to be gone immeidately after you fire it up.....give it some time!
