Car over heats!!!
just finished a swap ,, and idles for abotu 30+ mins and it would over heat... i've tried everything except runn it with out the thermostat..
Fan turns on,
radiator cap is off but I have a funnel ontop to top it off with more radiator fluid, but right when its in oper temp it would boil bubble up and overflow...??
new waterpump, new headgasket, timing belt, what else should i look into ??
/Oo ___A___ oO\|=_/_______\_=|
how hot do the upper and lower radiator hoses get.
water is flowing I take it? try bleeding the system? any smoke out the exhaust? have you driven it yet?
no i have not driven it yet, and it smokes a little .. but not like a cloud or anything...
upper & lower hoses both feel hott..

You tourque the head down correctly?
i started it out with 30ft lbs from the
inside and out
and finished it down with 75ft lbs using arp headstuds & bolts
/Oo ___A___ oO\|=_/_______\_=|
its because you didnt get the head shaved!
i think thats 5 ft-lbs too much but that wont warp the head.Originally Posted by YouKnowIt
turn u temp control to hot and u should get heat out of ur vents. this also help get the air bubbles out of the heater core. if u can, elivate the fron of the car so ur radiator is the highest point of the cooling system. fill the system til that funnel is about half full and u should get some more air bubbles out of it.
let me know how that works for you.
the is shaved...
/Oo ___A___ oO\|=_/_______\_=|
i'ma try that out 2morrow then.. and more suggestions?
/Oo ___A___ oO\|=_/_______\_=|
a shaved head wont cause it to over heat. and u can can still warp a freshly shaved head with improper torque sequence or install consideering you used head studs.
WTF did you say?
Well if the head was sent to a machine shop an they decked it, an checked it, an its good an your fans working, no air in the system, thermostat is working, then either you installed the headgasket on wrong, or your head wasnt shaved an its warped, ...sounds to me that its bubbling back because it has back presure which is caused from bad headgasket,warped head,etc
head should be torqued 47ft lbs, then re torque to 68 ft lbs
head gasket is installed correct.. and i'm just lastly thinking bout the head being warped.. whichi bought it off of a IA member in here which he said the head was machined @ scotts machine shop..
/Oo ___A___ oO\|=_/_______\_=|
translation!!! You got a FUKED up head!
Better hope when you take it off, it doesnt strip the head bolts an the head,
1st - headbolts are to tight,
2nd-been overheating
3rd-good luck
well i just thought since i was using arp headstuds i went by their trq specs, their instruction said to be torque to 80 ft lbs but oem specs says 70 so i trq it 75 in the middle of oem/Afmarket specs
/Oo ___A___ oO\|=_/_______\_=|
yeah your fine, there, but if it overheats to much it can strip them coming out good luck
u just beat me to it.
i only started it up 2 times .. 1st time was 2 weekends ago which i couldn't find out why the fans were not working.. switched out coolant temp sensor. left home.. last time was this past weekend .. and same scenario! head is fresh from machine shop, with new valves/valvetrain etc..
/Oo ___A___ oO\|=_/_______\_=|
so if it is a warped head.. will decking the head and resurfacing it fix it?
/Oo ___A___ oO\|=_/_______\_=|
i havent built an engine in a couple years but if i remember correctly arp says if u use motor oil to lube the studs torque them to 80 ft-lbs and if you use the supplied moly lube torque to 70 ft-lbs.
just try the stuff i told u and see how it goes. make sure u raise the front of the car bc i had hel bleeding my car but it buffed out.
yeah i'ma try that out wheni get back home
/Oo ___A___ oO\|=_/_______\_=|
is there anything else i should look for.. and just wondering any 1 got a picture of how the U BEND hoses @ the thermostats is attached?
i noticed that mines different from GSR .. which i have itr block.. ?
/Oo ___A___ oO\|=_/_______\_=|
Yeah check your tail light bulb I hear this makes it run hot too
man its about time u fork over the cash for a shop to fix your issue. there is only so much a bunch of people on the internet can do for you.

take the radiator cap off while car isn't running, bump the car without cranking it up, see if water shoots out the top of the radiator.
(you can disconnect one of the plug wires to keep it from starting up.)
If water shoots out the top, chances are head is messed up.
anyone have a close picture of the rear hoses and all.. that should be connected right? i found this one but i need the close up pictures of where the waterpump pipe has a outlet in the middle.. etc
/Oo ___A___ oO\|=_/_______\_=|
did you take out the Thermostat out yet?
nahh i didn't get a chance to go back to the car yet..
/Oo ___A___ oO\|=_/_______\_=|
^this is some else's itr block and look @ their waterpump hoses is it connected correct??
^ this is how mines is connected.. right or wrong??
feel free to edit the pictures and show me ..
/Oo ___A___ oO\|=_/_______\_=|
bump
/Oo ___A___ oO\|=_/_______\_=|
follow the bottom picture. It's to the crankcase box. I haveno idea WTF the top picture is doing.
and the hose that is coming out of the waterpump pipe where does it connect to.. ?
/Oo ___A___ oO\|=_/_______\_=|
it goes to the output side of the IACV.
where does it connect to?
/Oo ___A___ oO\|=_/_______\_=|
