You may have an air pocket trapped from the work, t-stat may be stuck, anti-freeze may be too concentrated or too thin. are you sure it was your heater core. does your coolant keep emptying from your surge tank?
Hey Craig==The most common cause is the cooling fans are not operating correctly. Check them out. GoodluckJoe
Pinched or blocked transmission cooling lines
No
windshield leaking heater core or heater core hoses.
Hose going from engine to heater core may have burst. Check all your coolant hoses for leaks.
Yes it can cause it to overheat but first check your thermostat. That would be the 1st cheapist thing to do before you did anything else. I got an 85 regal(overheating) and the thermostat or the heater core is the problem im getting them both replaced tomorrow and will let know of how it runs.
heat core. leak. thermostat. no antifreeze.
Yes, the heater core would cause a vehicle to overheat. Most likely it would either be caused by a blockage, or some form of interruption of flow of the cooling system in the area of the heater core. It is an integral part of the cooling system, much the same as a part of the body being included in the circulatory system. The heater core is basically a small radiator that is located behind the firewall. It is encased in a small insulated box, and its main function is to allow the heat that is generated from the cooling system to be pushed into the passenger cabin by means of an electric fan that is usually attached on or near the heater core. It also aids slightly in the cooling of the engine when working properly... but when clogged or working improperly, it will not allow the regular flow of coolant to continue, therefore causing the engine to overheat. I hope this answers your question.
the blown head gasket would make it over heat. but it wouldn't cause the heater to blow cold, it should actually blow hot if that is wat happened
It could, but I'd start by checking the timing. If it's off the car will overheat, and that's easy to adjust. Heater cores are a grade-A pain to replace because you have to take apart the dash to get to them.
Too high a temperature
No...
