water in overflow when car starts to run hot

[bpoweredhatch]

ok well sense the guy has torqued my arps to 100 ft lbs that only needed to be torqued to 85 as arp said i ve been having some problems. well the next day i had someone check my torque specs because the guy off of here that did it didnt even use a torque wrech because he said he worked at acura in gwinnet and remembered the specs by hand. well i think he messed up mt head gasket or something by doing it that tight and me having someone to fix it. could this be why my car keeps running hot?:thinking:

[bpoweredhatch]

could it be because my block is brand new or a blown head gasket? car doesnt smoke or have water in the oil i need to figure this out so i can put a hundred more miles on my car and get it tuned

[RBS]

so someone else put on the head for you? maybe he put the headgasket in backwards blocking the cooling passage


is your thermostat working?

[schia89]

check the thermostat?

[bpoweredhatch]

no thermostat is in it. but the guy used a breaker bar to torque my head down. i ve talked to scotty,blue ridge and a few other placees. blue ridge said he prolly cracked my head by doing it that tight.

[schia89]

damn that sucks. the guy using the breaker might have tightened it more than 100lb. hes gonna pay for it?

[bpoweredhatch]

i hope he gonna pay for it. i hope acura in gwinnet is not lettin him do ppls cars like that
