hey fellow auszookers I have replaced every bit of my cooling system, but the f10a still overheats. Just wondering what the odds it could be a head gasket or head? No water in oil or oil in water, but not sure if it could be the top end? Cheers |

The only other ways the head gasket could break is between two cylinders and between a cylinder and a water jacket. If it broke between a cylinder and water jacket it would over heat and your radiator would become pressurised and dump coolant everywhere. Is your timing right? Sometimes if they are out of time (I forget which way) they can run hot. |

Is it loosing water Did you replace thermostat Did you replace water pump Did you replace radiator Is the fan on backwards Is it overheating all the time Is the sender working properly |

My guess is a leaky welsh plug. Mine was leaking under inlet manifold. Left no signs, as heat kept it dry. Hope it simple, head jobs are no fun...well some are not |

Having the radiator stripped and cleaned is a good idea |

PS. Inlet manifolds can crack, causing issues, though not common |

How do you know that it's actually overheating? What is the coolant temp? |

because it boiled twice, and reads over H on factory gauge, but i no they can be faulty cheers |

You need a pressure test, to see where coolant is going |

yeah i going to do that to i think |

Just a thought... Is there anything restricting airflow? like big lights, aircon stuff, big bar Did u flush the system? Have u got a shroud? |

viscus fan clutch or solid ? |

X2 fan, as it appears to be overheating at low speeds. (Also be the cause of coolant loss from overflow when it boils.) Fan shroud will help. Check fan belt tension too. |
