help with engine overheating

<< < (3/4) > >>

ross501:
the rad cap came with the new rad i have done the head gasget and flushed out all the water pipes and the rad i still have the old rad top i will try that did not realise that it would create a over heating problem really hope that it is sorted somehow

Canada Al:
I don't want to be the bearer of bad news ....But I had the same problem and did the rad and the head gasket and the flush plus all the other stuff I could think of . I even had the head pressure tested to see if there was an internal crack . All to no avail . In the end it was a porous liner on no. 3 bore . For me , it was a  recon  short motor and swap all the bits . I hope you can get it sorted .
As an after thought , there was never any oil in the water or water in the oil . took me weeks to pin down the problem ......Al

tomarse:
Are you sure the water pump is working?

My landy started running warm and it was because the key that held the crank pulley in place had broken, so it wasnt spinning properly, and hence not turning the water pump!

Dude is right about the cap too!. Replacing the radiator cap on my 101 stopped it from overheating! (on his suggestion too i think!)

The impellors on the pump can chorode away, making it not so effective at pumping the fluid round the engine

ross501:
