Hi all ...have a problem that I think i have the answer to.....but I would like to see if anyone comes up with the same as me
at present I have an overheating problem..has overheated slightly since being rebuilt...4m40t full reco. hot tanked ..decked ...rebored new internals except crank...15 lb boost ...EGT's never go north of 350c since injector pump reset to original specs by pump reconditioner...new head ..new water pump..new thermostat...new heater core ....new alloy radiator 16 inch thermo fan .... new hoses ..no leaks
runs at between 80 and 90 celsius as long as you drive it with a feather on the loud pedal...put it under pressure and it goes up over 100c ...pushes about a litre or so of coolant into the overflow...DOES NOT RETURN IT TO THE RADIATOR when its stone motherlesss cold..as a matter of fact the cooling system is still under pressure when i crack the cap when its cold
my thoughts are that I either have a cracked head or head gasket has been breached between the cylinder and water jacket...the only thing that puzzles me is the pressure in the cooling system when cold
cheers to anyone that chimes in with their opinion....
