Default Found My Problem....

Some of you know that i just put my car back together, less than a week ago and have had trouble with cooling since i got it back running... I checked everything twice over and finally against my will, tore it back down... Found my problem though...

I've narrowed it down the the torque wrench that i wasn't sure of... only thing i can think of... it ran good, but it would push water out of the resevoir and when i got on it, it would show red hot because exhaust was going into the intake, which was f ing up my temp

Well i'm hoping that the guage showing red hot was only the intake and not the motor... It didn't seem to be hurt though...

I would think you would have noticed a dramatic loss of power if it was running reallly hot. But then you were probibly taking it easy on her if she was possibly overheating.
