What else can I help you with?
Would the head going cause a new radiator to blow or vise versa so which failed first the new radiator or the new head gasket?
A blown head gasket will pressurise the cooling system sometimes to the extent of blowing the radiator. A blocked radiator will cause a lack of coolant flow and overheating, which can cause head gasket failiure. Without inspecting the vehicle there is now way to tell which component failed first. Best wishes.
How do you stop oil from going into a radiator on a 94 Honda Civic dx?
Oil in the radiator is a sign that you have a blown head gasket. The head gasket will have to be replaced. STOPdriving this car immediately or you will destroy the engine.
You are losing oil and it is going into your radiator of your suzuki maradaur?
You may have a blown head gasket(s).
In a 93 Olds Silhouette what would cause there to be oil in the water but no water in the oil?
if this vehicle is automatic,the most likely cause would be the transmission fluid cooler. it is a tank inside the radiator that cools the transmission fluid. if by any reason the tank leaks it would contaminate your water/coolant/antifreeze. answer a cracked head will allow oil into water jacket in head, going from there thru to radiator if it was a bad head gasket, u would have water in oil instead
99 cougar has no radiator fluid going through the motor what the problem is it the thermostate or head gasket?
Sounds like either head gasket, cracked head or cracked block
Why radiator going empty when reserve tank is full?
looks like cilinder head gasket is defect, engine pressure is coming in radiator, and cooling fluid goes into motor
My 190e radiator and hoses are hot but pipe going into car not and heaters blowing cold can you shed some light head gasket seems fine?
i would suspect a blockage of some sort...is the thermostat operating correctly??
Why would you have to keep adding water to your grand am radiator does not leak?
The radiator is not meant to stay full all the time. When over full the excess will flow to the overflow bottle. If that is not your problem, it is possible you have a head gasket leak and you are burning it or it is going to the crank case and you will have milky oil. All of these are conditions which will require service by a mechanic.
How do you change the thermostat on a 2004 avalanche?
Find and disconnect the upper radiator hose. This will be a hose going from the top of the radiator to the top of the engine block somewhere. The upper radiator hose attaches to the thermostat housing, which is usually secured by 2 or 4 bolts. The thermostat is inside and you will probably need a pick to get it out. Having said that, your thermostat probably isn't the problem if you are overheating. GM motors have really bad intake gasket design, which can cause your car to leak coolant, which will in turn cause it to overheat.
Loss of engine coolant?
A leak in a hose or the radiator itself. This should be obvious. Possibly a head gasket. If it is going out the exhaust, there should be white smoke, if it is going into the crankcase, the oil will look like chocolate milk.
Why would there be transmission oil in the radiator?
Strong possibility of a blown head gasket. Either do not drive it or driver very slowly and carefully to get it checked. You dont have a blown head gasket, you have a leak in the transmission oil cooler which is inside the radiator. The cheapest way to fix it is to buy a external transmission oil cooler and hook that up to the transmission oil cooler lines which are now going to your radiator. then cap off the two ports on the radiator where the old cooler lines went. Your car will never know the difference, and your transmission will probably last longer as the external transmission oil cooler is vastly supirior to the one inside the radiator.
What do you do nextive replaced the water pumpthe thermostatand the intake manifold gaskets and your 2001 Chevy malibe is still overheating?
Check to see if you are loosing coolant. If so determine where it is going. If it is going into the cylinders via a gasket the Oil on the dipstick will be grey. If it excaping via a hose connection you should see a wet area by either the radiator or heater hoses. Check the engine timing. Improper timing will cause overheating. Flush out the Radiator. That is a good idea every few years anyway. Check for a collapsed Radiator hose. I would suggest replacing all hoses about every 5 years. Check to see if the radiator is clogged with bugs or weeds.
