my car overheats when i go fast like accelerating on the highway to about 100 or so.. im kinda currious on why it does this.. i have a brand new waterpump and thermostat.. i also loose coolant and i have to add it every week or so depends on how much i drive.. could this just be a BHG? would that lead to overheating? but there is no coolant in the oil so im not too sure on where its going


also what is needed to replace the HG? is it just the head gaskets themselvs, valve cover gaskets, and upper intake gasket? would i need anything else? or should i replace anything while im doin it?

i have no money for new heads atm either

 

you would need to get your antifreeze checked for a high level of hydrocarbons to be sure, but if your loosing coolant, and you know your not leaking it, chances are your burning it. have someone watch the back of your car when you really get on it. if they see white smoke, your HG is cooked.

 

first off get your coolant system pressurized they would be able to find a leak weather its your HG or something else.

 

Its gotta be goin somewhere, and if its not in your oil, or physically leaking outside the motor, then your prolly burning it somewhere. +1 on having someone watch your exhaust when you get on it.

 

just put it in neutral and rev it up and see if it climbs

i hope u aint using the stock gauge to determine ur cars temperature either......

 

at idle my d/s tailpipe smokes or something sometimes when my p/s does not.. ***** it ill just replace the HG and see what happens..


what is needed for this procedure???

 

ok so today i find out my car is burning coolant like it is it's job... ugh steam is like pouring out of the d/s tailpipe... i just love BHG's i just hope its not a cracked head... well kind of haha then i could prob get some gt40's if i can find em

i overheated the other day.. then i filled the coolant up cuz there was none and i drove to the next town over and back and my engine stated heating up over normal again and the coolant is low... ugh!!!!!!!!!
