Hey guys,

What would be causing the injected 5 litre in the wagon to be over heating?

Cheers

are u using thermos?
are they running properly?
is there a blokage in the cooling system (caused by mixing coolants)
annnnnnnd is the radiator working?
take the radiator out and flush it out, and dump all the coolant and fill it back up

Flushed radiator and engine.

Has standard fan.

Radiator is working and dont know what else it could be.

Took the thermostat out and made it a little better

Flush the system.
Don't run it without the thermostat you'll end up killing something.

Worst case scenario its a blow head gasket.

Is the vacume advance still hooked up?

Flushed the system man. And only tried with out the thermostat as the one in it was stuffed.

Yeah I have a feeling its a blown head gasket as it is pressurizing the cooling system.

Do the electronic ignition have a vacume advanced hose? If they do it will be hooked up as I checked all the hosses and stuff.

It was rebuilt about 50,000k's ago. So I don't know whats caused it. Might just replace the head gaskets and go from there.

only small bubbles

new water pump by the looks of it. Fan is not seized and no air lock as i made sure of it. Even had it running with the heater on full blast while filling it to make sure the heater was full of water too.

It's not lossing any water either. So it all boils down too the head gaskets.

Anyway im sick of the frigging thing and is now up on ebay.

No way!!!

It will only cost me $143.50 for a full gasket set. I could sell the engine conversion for $2000 - $2500

Its on ebay for 3,500 and some has a bid on it.

is it puffing excess moisture out of 1 exhaust pipe..

I would think the gasket as ur getting bubbles

Dont run it without the thermostat man that just wanting trouble as the coolant is constantly running through it and not getting cooled in the rad properly and then fllushed through the block and head banks.

Cmon Mechanic man its a head gasket change it and your away...

dont sell it coz its an easy fix
