No that's a clogged radiator issue. However if the engine over heats to much, the head will warp and you'll need a new one. Replace your radiator, Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor, and thermostat.
Sounds like a head gasket problem to me in the least. If the overheating caused the leak then you may have to check the radiator, thermostat and water pump as well. Good luck.
Sounds more to me like a radiator problem.
It sounds like the antifreeze / distilled water mixture is freezing because the antifreeze mixture is too weak for the outside temperature Usually the antifreeze and preferably distilled water mixture is 50 / 50 ( Ford states to not exceed 60 % antifreeze )
Your truck is overheating because it needs a new radiator. I had the same problem, after I installed the new radiator and flushed out my remaining cooling system I never had a overheating problem since.
The most common cause of overheating is a thermostat stuck in the closed position. However, other causes are: faulty water pump, clogged radiator, clogged hose(s), coolant leak or a broken drive belt. I had a 1987 legend with around 160K that was overheating. Antifreeze would boil out of the overflow. I changed my radiator and it fixed the problem.
There are several things to check for overheating. check all belts,,hoses,,and the recovery tank. If the recovery tank is not in good condition,it will not recover antifreeze when engine warms up and transfer it back to the radiator. Next, and the most common problem, is a radiator that is partially blocked internally. Try a good commercial radiator flush,,follow the directions exactly for best results. If it still overheats, have the radiator serviced by a good radiator shop. Make sure you are using a good quality antifreeze/water mix. DO NOT use just water. Antifreeze raises the boiling point of the cooling system,,it is supposed to do that. Remember,,HEAT is the main killer of engines and transmissions. It is worth the money spent on keeping the engine from overheating.
Could be a problem with the engine cooling fan , water pump , restricted radiator , any body else have any ideas ?
my 1991 b2200was overheating until i removed the radiator and sent it to be cleaned, problem solved.
A 1991 Honda Accord could be overheating if the radiator has a leak. There could also be a problem with the head gasket.
There might be a leak in the water pump, or in the radiator. Maybe even check the radiator hoses for cracks and leaks.
Inoperative radiator fans, bad water pump, failed headgasket?
Valves will clatter if the engine is overheating.Valves will clatter if the engine is overheating.
