1bignose Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 working on a 85 gl 2wd with a ea82 in it. got the motor back in to the car and it is over heating. it has a new water pump, took the thermostat out. dont know what to do. i thought it was a pressure lock but it doesnt act like that anymore. when i shut off the motor it wants to come out of the radiator. but when it is running there is no smoke. if anyone could help please give me a suggestions thanks 1bignose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeshoup Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 What kinda condition is the radiator in? Is it plugged up at all? Have a severe case of fin rot? How's the coolant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWet Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 It sometimes takes a while to get the engine to give up its air bubbles. It has taken me up to a week to get the cooling system full. BUT, do check that radiator; when the car is warm and running, *carefully* run your hand from top to bottom of the radiator core, feeling for temperature differences.
