Cross contamination of transmission fluid within the radiator. Replace the radiator.
you may need to replace your gaskets on your valve covers and such, the gaskets are vital to engine pressure
Flush your radiator coolant and replace thermostat
Disconnect the battery. Drain the radiator. Remove the pump belt. Unbolt the pump, and replace the pump along with new gaskets.
NO it will not, It will cause other problems like stoping up the heater core and radiator. You MUST replace the intake gaskets.
== == No pressure means a leak (Internal or External) or a bad radiator cap. Try the radiator cap first as it is the easiest to replace. If pressure still fails to build, inspect your system carefully. Look for ANY evidence of moisture on engine components and try to find the leaking gasket. Also be aware that some gaskets can give way inside your engine releasing pressure/ antifreeze into your Combustion chambers and/ or oil reservoirs causing irreparable damage.
Gravity. But the little pitot at the bottom of a "home radiator" is a pressure relief valve - sometimes they jam open and water (rather than a little steam or hot air) may escape. You may have to replace the valve if it continually leaks from there. In older car radiators, the radiator cap had built-in high pressure venting to avoid blowing out hoses. Some newer models vent back-pressure into the spare fluid reservoir but that's not much space.
1) drain the antifreeze out of the radiator. 2) pull the radiator hoses off of the water pump 3) unbold the water pump from the block 4) install the new one the same way you took it off Note: when putting it back together make sure to replace the gaskets between the block and water pump, and put Permitex #2 on both sides of the gaskets
Yes, always replace gaskets on any projects requiring them.
Drain the radiator. Remove the belts driving the pump. The pump can then be unbolted and replaced. Make sure to use new gaskets during the installation.
When a radiator cap does not retain pressure, the coolant can boil at a lower temperature, leading to overheating of the engine. This can cause damage to engine components and potentially result in a breakdown. It is important to replace a faulty radiator cap to prevent these issues.
there is a big hose going from the top of your radiator, to the engine block. where the hose meets the block, there is a metal fitting sttatched with 2 bolts. remove the bolts and you will see your thermostat sticking out. pull the old thermostat out, scrape the gaskets off and replace the unit, and the gaskets, and put it all back together.
