new beginnings ????

ok , so just got done putting my engine together after a blown head gasket repair . I started my car thinking it would no longer over heat , WRONG! , temp gauge went 220+ , my coolant started bubbleing " after i burped my cooling system , and it almost over filled my reservir tank ,so i shut it off , found a burned out cooling fan relay , but still why the bubbles and why so hot ?

If your fan wasn’t turning that would do it.

It might have been turning at first, when you of course looked at it, after the engine repair, then the relay burned out, then the engine overheated.

Are you running 50/50 ‘anti-freeze’ and water?


Happy Racing!

Fog lights are not driving lights. They look dorky. Turn em off slow pokes.

How bout those dorks too scared to drive without headlights on in the daytime!
