Hi Guys
I have a 2t carbied motor that keeps overheating. Ive checked the water pump and replaced the thermostat and flushed out the radiator but it still overheats. somebody help please. i dont have a clue whats worng and i need it fixed as its my daily driver.
cheers
BHG?
30kw club
does it use alot of water, is there oil in the water or is there water in your oil sounds like a blown head gasket
if you take it on the highway, sit at a lowish rpm will it continue to overheat? if so, there is a blockage somewhere. generally with a bhg if you keep the revs down and going at a half paced speed it wont overheat.
My car has a three speed auto when im on the highway doin 100 its at 4000rpm anyway know matter what when ever i drove it always overheats.
How old is the water pump? Whats the radaitor condition? Like are all the fins on the rad good and not weak? so if the push on them lightly they dont break.
Thermostat have you pulled that out and checked it in hot water? Radaitor blocked?
Abit more information would help heaps...
When you at lights does it get hot then when you start moving does it get cooler? Or at lights it cools down and when your moving does it get hot?
Little info like that will help

It starts to heat up if im at the lights if i drive it normally at night time it stays at normal temp but during the day it overheats. i have a new thermostat which i just fit yesterday and my waterpump is fine. The radiator is a bit old but seems ok and i also replaced the thermostat housing gasket and waterpump gasket. Thats all the info i got.
Cheers
Sounds like a blockage. You said that you flushed the radiator, did you flush the motor at the same time? Or just the radiator. Either way there might be some solid blockage in the core some where best I think to take it to a radiator shop and ask them to clean out both the radiator and the motor (they can do it with a much higher pressure than you can with a garden hose, which I assume is what you used).
Thanks for all the help guys i decided to take every radiator hose off and for some reason the the heater hose had some brown shit in it sort looked like oil but yeh cleaned it out and no runs pretty smooth.
cheers :greenbounce:
sounds like it copuld be a blockage somewhere
