It either leaks and you should see that or a head gasket is allowing it to burn and at that volume you would see at lot of white smoke out the tailpipe, T jrm0513 Novice Jan 24, 2007, 6:12 AM Post #3 of 6 (1427 views) Re: overheating Sign In the rad is not leaking. no water anywhere. i see some white smoke sometimes ouf of the taipipe. so its the motor? can one go for a few months like this. it has already been a few months Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jan 24, 2007, 12:02 PM Post #4 of 6 (1425 views) Re: overheating Sign In The sooner you take care of this the better to prevent more possible damage. Keep system full and watch gauges if you must wait. You could cut the gasket off the smaller rubber of the radiator cap and it might slow down, T jrm0513 Novice Jan 26, 2007, 5:47 AM Post #5 of 6 (1421 views) Re: overheating Sign In what is the cheapest way to repair the gasket without changing the engine and how is is done. i read somewhere they could just mold it back into shape or something. grind it?

It could involve replacing a head if warped or cracked so I suggesst you get a shop to fully diagnose this and a quote for how much. It can get real expensive, Good luck, T   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
