Question about Termi's - 5/10/2008 10:51:15 AM    Legally_Blown Posts: 676 Joined: 4/1/2007 Status: offline Ok...quick question, does anyone who owns a Termi know if our cars have a "fail-safe". Like if the motor gets too hot will it shut off to save from tearing up? _____________________________ 04 Cobra: 520rwhp & 535rwtq Post #: 1

If my car over-heated due to a broken radiator and shut off....could there be damage to the motor? if so, what kind of problems will I be facing? should I be looking to rebuild it? _____________________________ 04 Cobra: 520rwhp & 535rwtq (in reply to Blownsvt) Post #: 4

I'm waiting on my new radiator to come in and then I will have him to a compression test. Thanks for the help _____________________________ 04 Cobra: 520rwhp & 535rwtq (in reply to Blownsvt) Post #: 6
