Well i had my car tour apart to peplace my diff that went all good en well. But i fixed a mount on my front mount and rad as well. All i did was tear out all the hosing and the fmic and rad. I fixed the mounts and put them all back in just liek they were. Now i'm over heating like a mofo and cant figure out why. please help. i cant even go a block without it steaming.

is it overheating or steaming? loss of coolant? white smoke? no smoke? coolant passing the cap and filling the overflow? what are your symptoms? we cant narow it down if we dont have the car in our possession.... so more *clues* will help us help you. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

You may have an air pocket in your cooling system. Try burping it.

Check to make sure that you put your thermostat back in the right way.

Umm, the coolant fans plugged back in?

We never took the termostat out and yes the fans are pluged in. It is over heating and steaming we dont know where from thou. And i dont have a AST. How do i burp the system many peopel have told me it is a air pocket.

you can burp it by undoing the coolant hose goes to the TB if you are still using that, as that would be the highest place in the system.

how can you not tell where the steam is comming from? it must also leave a puddle under the area it is leaking from if there is steam pouring out of you enginebay, no?.... there are not many places where it even *can* come from. the bay is not that small and coolant system is not to complicated, especialy with a single turbo conversion....
