TD, didn't you just do a repair to the thermostat housing? May just be an unsuccesful repair. Better than a new head.

We used a housing from another motor plenty of RTV bolts went in easy.
I really cant see how it would leak there Mark did it by the book.
You can tip water in and when it gets to a certain level it just pours out.
power is still great

John as much as it may sound hard for you to do, financially etc... Right now you seriously need to think about taking it to a shop and getting it looked at properly before maybe doing more damage to the motor and/or your own mind , otherwise it'll drive you mental.

Right now I would not have the faintest idea as to what the problem is or what the original issue was...

Mat has mentioned numerous times to go get a simple coolant gas test done , this will potentially show an issue ...

It's just getting ridiculous now.

Is the cap releasing properly?

Yea mate - not picking on Mark, just saying that failed repair would be better than a new head. Just have to wait and see the outcome I guess.

I thought the issue was fixed

It looks to me if you look at the picture there is a small rubber hose
I just think at this stage all my hoses are failing and in need of replacing
as in a major service etc
I can't see how the thermostat housing seal could fail, so im crossing that off
so when I get the Patrol back Ill need to remove the top shroud and remove the alternator,
and then the thermal fan....replace that stupid 50mm piece of hose and assemble it all again.
That hose would have the be in the worse spot ever IMO lol

By 2 as it is going round and round in Circles

If you drive a ZD30 with 200k plus on the clock
Its time to change those two heater hoses .
What happens with the heat generated by the turbo
directly underneath, is the hose seperates into a inner
and outer hose, either wrap in some exhaust wrap or by some Gold tape.
Or change them before your next trip, especially that 50mm job

This all seems odd.....

I had a problem that made my temps run up as high as 105 degrees, turnout out being the radiator cap. Building pressure with caused it.

You say that it was maxing out at 88 after the last time it as put together, now it has water pouring out.

Could it be another hose or something else. I'm not familiar with these engines. Is there any other water hoses on that side of the motor?

Edit.
There is, John posted while I was typing.


As I and a few others have said, save yourself a lot of unnecessary worry and expensive and try to get it over to a shop and get it professionally looked at before you do anything else to it.

Not a having a go at you John, just trying to get you back in that seat that you love so much.
