    Threedogs motor thread

    As suggested by Lucas save being in the Angry thread,
    Not much to say at this stage, but Ill be removing the
    radiator and thermostat over the weekend, hopefully.
    I have an OE thermostat all ready,.
    Not sure if my fan is working as I cant for the life of me remember
    it ever turning on after the temps have risen. time will tell
    my son is an Auto elect so he can test that for me.
    Time will tell
    IMO it goes too well to have a hole in the piston,
    I dont lose water.
    04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there

    It's not losing coolant? Hmmm. But it is holding residual pressure for a while after shut down? Hmmm.
    Sound like it can only be one of two things.
    Radiator cap kaput or maybe wrong pressure rating.
    Small leak in head gasket. Have the same trouble at the moment.
    The constant overheating bit is troublesome. Water pump.........?

    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

    Funny there is not one value on my ecu-talk that has changed.
    ATM I think Ive clogged the system with head repair goo.
    Like I said ill first check to see if the fan is working.
    Another point is it will idle for hours if that helps anyone out there

    If its idling for hours it cant be a piston
    would have drop out on to the floor and
    tore the engine mounts out

    Hmmm... wouldn't be the first time that has happended.

    I'd be more suspicious of that and what Cuppa and others have said rather than fans etc

    How does the coolant look? It's not milky at all?
