July 4, 200818 yr comment_258339 Head's back and torqued up correctly, new water pump, thermostat and all new gaskets but still overheats ! Grrrrrrrrrrrr.............. ;) if the radiator is stuffed then the overheating is what probably blow the head gasket.get it check by a pro,its a small investment.get the cooling system pressure tested when its back together to make sure your not loosing coolant Report

August 9, 200818 yr Author comment_267209 Well this problem is still on goin now! Had the head back off and cleaned out heaps of shite from the water gallery! But still getting hot! Duno if the gauge on the dash is faulty even tho it has a new temp sender in the engine :dance: And ideas? Cheers Leigh Report
August 9, 200818 yr comment_267212 would i sound like a broken record if i said go and get the radiator looked at.... Report
August 9, 200818 yr comment_267213 oh and when you did the head gasket did you get the head straightened/skimmed or did you fire it back in as it was? could have the same problem if you didn't... Report

Head has been skimmed :dance: and radiator has been flow and pressure tested! One strange thing is when it is on the "H" symbol on the gauge i can still open the radiator and stick my finger in the water for a second or so! Its no where near hot boiling :dance: Report
