my 87 t2 has been over heating and i cant figure out why. i put a new radiator in it because it was leaking and i put a new thermostat in also. and when i first start the car it has a hard time getting started and when it does it smokes white smoke for a minute and sound like it is missing a rotor and then it warms up it sounds fine and stops smoking and all the power is still there . so any help would be appretiated.

did you take the fan and shroud off?
|
yes and i replaced it with electric
|
Do you have to keep puting water in the car once a week or more.
Once you come to a complete stop and get out your car do you see water coming out you overflow tank ? When it smoking go behind the tale pipe and take a wif of the smoke . what does it smell like? |
you need to get a custom shroud to fit your fan. if engine continues to smoke, u need a rebuild.
|
smoking white + overheating is most likly your coolant seals are shot.
which requires a compleate engine rebuild or a new engine to fix..... |
the smoke smells like gas and yes it spills coolant out of the overflow tank
|
Yea it sounds like class seal break age due to hundreds of reason.
Next step coolant system pressure testing to make sure. |
White smoke that smell like gas could be a bad pre-cat.
