Hey all well . im still gettin air in there.. now more then ever ..maybe be due to the fact that i removed the core of the thermostat, i did that cause thats the way the engine came. i got the engine for a junk yard its been sitting on the self for 3 years and it runs good. but when i got it i put a good thermostat in it but just yersterday i took it out again and now i get air in there much faster and it overheats, like 10kms and its done need to pull over and bleed , before when the thermostat was in it wouldnt over heat . just the light would blink ( i was took that mean there is no water) then i learned how to bleed the system (thank you all) and it would work for a long time before the light came on and i would get heat off and on .. now i know i was told that the gases from the cyclinders could be leeking into the system and well i dont want to accpet that just yet cause i just got the damm thing on the road and its my everyday way around :) did a comperssion test and no leaking there ... i though cause it happends so far that it would be more of a noticable leak. but could it be anything else ... does this engine vent (PCV) or something .. or is it time for a reseal (nooo !!)
thanks . ===== Dave Vieira Hamilton, Ontario Canada __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? HotJobs - Search new jobs daily now http://hotjobs.yahoo.com/ |
