The rusted wire in lower hose happened to me in 1969. Idle cool all day, rev up went hot. Always looked for hose to collapse since. Never happened till now 41 years later. Bubba

well i thought the problem was fixed but it has come back it seems like the water is being pushed out the puke tank before the car even warms up!

I think its your waterpump. spin the water pump if it moves freely its shot it should have some tightness but not be loose. My 1994 f- 350 had the same problem as you overheating when rpm's climb. It was the waterpump

if its going to the tank, your thermo is stuck open

well it has a new fan new water pump new thermostat new radiator new hoses and new heater core so i guess im gonna do a head swap tomorrow i have 2 more sets of E7 heads so i guess ill put on a new set and see if that helps. If not i guess its time for another engine.

I got one for you guys,
I have a 90 mustang that i recently replaced the clutch in the car. the day after it was finished i took it for a drive to test the new clutch and i was having a little fun with it. In the process the car overheated. So i pulled over and found 2 of my heater hoses ripped down the sides. I replaced the heater hoses but the car still overheated. Turns out the fan clutch was also bad so i replaced that as well. The car still oveheated. I replaced the radiator, radiator cap, thermostat, flushed the coolant system, checked the lower radiator hose and it has a spring in it, and the fan shroud isnt hitting the fan. The car still gets way too hot. this is a daily driver so i need to have it fixed!!! Any ideas!?! i dont think its the heads because the problem happened so suddenly. It is also wierd that it happened right after i upgraded the clutch. The car doesnt really overheat, but it gets way too hot and the coolant bubbles over and out of the overflow tank. I really need suggestions, thanks
