that was me on dantheman..

but anyway, could i actually have a head gasket leak though?

because my buddy that helpped me said that it might be, but we are going to pressure check it, and then test the coolant if there is any exhaust gas in it. any other ideaS??

If it overflows, with a good pump and t stat - you have bubbles or a bad gasket. Too coincidental after a timing cover and stat though.....

mattdel

you could, yah. too cooincidental tho, +1^

however, if his system is not releasing pressure properly.. It would be due to a faulty radiator cap!

shaners90lxhatch

okay, so if the overflow fills up too, the cap is good. Its gonna come out violently regardless if its a bubble or combustion gasses

^ya i have actually had 2 different caps on it through this whole process. the old one that it ran fine with before i changed the gaskets, and then a pressure release cap.

soo should i just try redoing the gaskets??
