RE: Overheating By RC Moser - 05/23/2001 2:20:34 AM; IP 205.188.199.182 Paul, give us some more information or history. As Dave suggested. When did the problem occur? Has it been rebuilt and how long ago? overbored or not? Condition of hoses and radiator? What you've done to it? Discribe the overheating systom's? Puk water, gauge indication, hear the thumping sound, slow cranking? Now, if you havn't allready check the following condition of the radiator/cooling fins. Hoses (some have springs to prevent colasping) Radiator cap, Condition of the coolant (does it look greasey or dirty) The only way to check the block is to knock a freeze plug out (only it the engine hasn't been rebuilt or flushed out for a very long time) sometimes sludge will build up in the water jacket's that surround the cylinders causing poor circulation, but this is caused over a very long period of time and not likely after a rebuild. You can also do a search and see what other's have encountered and what fixed their problems. Kind of long, sorry.

This thread, so far...
