Also are both fans kicking on?
|
I've been out of the car 3 or 4 times when overheating.. both fans on then!
I used an OEM gasket with my old (sitting around, but new) OEM thermostat when putting this engine together about June. Bought an OEM rubber gasket too.. It dint have center groove for thermostat sheet metal (???) .. So I think it caused leak below housing .. not sealed properly.. I just put rubber gasket on top of thermostat, then bolted.. dripping off a little last nite when I was checking around thermostat and looking for other leaks. Got Napa gasket which fits proper.. used Pep Boys Stant small (not OEM size-they make two) thermostat this morning with the proper gasket.. fit good now, but .. STILL STARTED TO OVERHEAT ON MY WAY TO WORK 30 miles away!
What about the air pocket I've been told about?? Is that the bleeding you're talking about? HELP!
Thanks, Jim
