Once again blew a water gasket somewhere not sure where at thinking just water pump gasket. Any suggestions why it would have done this. I was only racing a civic.lol My stang is a stock 302 been having problems with cooling system and gasket blowouts lately. Any reason why or could it be winter time and my car doesnt like it much lol. Anysuggestions on how or why my car did this or what i could do to prevent it would be extremely greatfull

Something is plugged up some where.Or you could have installed the head gaskets wrong?

Where would something be plugged up at??? how would i find it / fix the plug up problem if there is one. I have never replaced the ehad gasket. so i wouldnt have put it on wrong. I know for sure the water pump gaskets were on right. Would getting a lower degree thermostat help out by keeping preasure down? now i have a 195* because its winter and heat is good lol. as well as the 160* was wasting mass gas. What can i DO????

How do you know you blew a gasket? Did you just see a puddle of water and assumed it was a gasket?Or was the car over heating? Could it be the heater core or the radiator hoses?

LOL! I am surprised your car hasn't quit running on you. I know I would if I were your poor car. </P>

The trick is in the oil changes. I get my oil changed about every 20,000 miles that way all the particles in it clog up any gasket or seal leaks. <IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">

I know it was the gasket, because i have replaced it 3 times already, i was driving as i was shifting into third , it was fine than i settled for a second gainging speed, and i saw smoke coming from under my hood and the back from the wind. stopped pulled over and antifreeze was dripping everwhere and steam from where i t was htitting the block and exhaust, its blown 3 gaskets in 2 weeks, could this be a blockage in the radiator causing high presasure or maybe somehwer in the block, all hoses as well as the water pump is new as well as thermostat , what might this be? As for "throwing it away and it will never happen again. Get a real car get a Wickedv6" HAHA what would be the reason for this, if it was a V6 i would throw it away, and why do all that to a V6 anyway, not worth it at least get a 2.3 turbo engine at least those can be worth the money. did they even make 6's in 91 ???? or is that engine from like 83-86 i thought all they made were 2.3 and 5.0's ???
