How many time have we been asked
about the cooling system on the car as far as over heating and
preventing that from happening.
Well it's really no different that any aluminum block
engine that if it's over heated it may warp or heads or blow a
head gasket. Neither one means the end of the engine. The
heads should be removed, checked for warping and
straightness.
I would leave this up to the head professionals.
To help prevent the engine from over heating I would start
here with these pointers.
#1. Make sure the cooling system is filled with the normal
50/50 mixture of antifreeze and water. Normally the
coolant bottle would be about 1/2 full after the engine has
run and the coolant has settled down.
#2. Make sure the 2 wires going to the otterstat are plugged
in and make sure they are not shorted out to any thing as best
you can and the wires going into the connector are secure.
Sometimes the wires will fray and come loose in the
connector. If it hasn't been replaced in years or looks
corroded around it, then I would replace it. $20.00. This is
what activates The Fan Fix for the radiator fans.
#3. Now I would warm up the engine to normal operating
temperature and bleed the air out of the lines manually first
with the nipple on top of the water pump.
Attach a clear hose you can see into and pick it up at
any local hardware store. Buy about a 3 foot length, insert
the one on the nipple coming out of the top of the pump and
the other into a glass jar. While the engine is running and
hot, open the bleeder screw and bleed out the air then
wait a minuet and do this again till the no more sputtering of
air is coming out. Once this is done then you can add the
automatic bleeder as shown on the engine cooling page..
#4.At this point providing the otterstat sensor
is operating properly the radiator fans should be turning on
and off just above the second mark on the gauge. If not then
the otterstat may be bad. It could be just old or it may be
cracked as shown in the picture.
#5. If the fans are turning on properly, then now would be the
time to upgrade the
fan relay system to The Fan Fix. This is the #1 upgrade
to the radiator fail and fan relay to make the system reliable
for the future. The second picture shows the shows
where it goes. It replaces the fan fail mod and the fan
relay.
All of the above is predicated on the above that the
water pump, radiator and all hoses are ok. We
carry all the products for a complete cooling system rebuild.
