+1 for bleeding coolant system

 

Damn I forgot all about bleeding it. Im gonna do that when i get off work. Thanks guys. Repped

 

how do you bleed the cooling system?

 

stab it like a goth kid.seriously tho, I've seen shops just let the car idle with the rad cap off, letting it bubble up and refilling the rad as necessary while it's running.

 

tru

 

thats pretty much how i do it. i squeeze the lower rad hose to get some air out a little faster. some car also have bleeders. do it w/ the heater at full hot

 

i agree, sounds like air in the system.

g/l

 

I dont know what it is. I bled the system today. Still when you start driving it it will overheat. When you just let it idle it stays at the right temp. Thanks for the help guys.

 

there is a bleeder valve on the hose housing thats bolted to the block, let the car run and then shut it off and unscrew that bleeder valve till coolant flows out , youll know the system is bled when coolant flows freely with no bubbles

 

if it only overheats while driving it then it sounds like either the water pump might be bad or your head is warped, thats one of the troubles of turboing a single cam motor
