Re: 4 cylinder overheating but its not headgasket?
depends, i don't know all of the specifics of this engine but sometimes there is an actual bleeder screw or sometimes you just loosen the rad cap and let it idle.npspears wrote:I'm curious, how do you bleed the cooling system?nate2k5 wrote:i haven't refilled it yet, so when i do i will bleed it properly

Re: 4 cylinder overheating but its not headgasket?
well i would guess i would see coolant spray if there was a hole in one of the hoses for the thermostat, they are designed to fail open and for the air bubble, i drained the coolant to pull the head so that will no longer be a problem whether the head is warped or not has nothing to do with the curr...

Re: 4 cylinder overheating but its not headgasket?
well it was the stock gasket with 150k miles, as far as i know. i took the head to the shop to make sure it was flat before i reinstalled it and they said it was not warped. i am guessing the valve seals are gone since it only smokes on startup but i am still wondering what the hell is up with the o...

Re: WTB: B6 DOHC Cylinder Head
ok, was there anything wrong with the motor when you removed it. from reading your prifle on car domain you said the motor was smoking?
if so then i already have a head (i think) causing that ha. i don't want to have to replace valve seals if i don't have to.
