over heating problem
over heating problem
did a pressure test ,it holds .
finnally got her running againe ,
did the head gasket ,intake gasket and it still overheats.
temp gos up to the red and after a few moments itr will go down,
when i pull over and check its seeping out of the res
fan does come on ,also installed new relay
the only thing i can think of is testing the switch,
would any one know the right precedure for testing a fan switch
thanks
fan will not come on when it heats up fast,
but when it comes on its too late ,and boiling over but temp gauge goes back down .

I'm sure you probably covered these, but, just to cover the bases.
Have you checked to make sure the thermostat is working? Try checking/replacing it and see if you still overheat.
Have you verified that your water pump is working properly?
Have you checked timing? Timing can cause a car to overheat too.
Good Luck!
