We have a bleed bolt in the block right by the upper hose....but it sounds like something is clogged...
also if the new water pump i put in was the culprit the upper rad hose wouldnt be hot correct ? the wp ( gates ) spun just fine and i installed it correctly , torqued in quarter turns to 20 ft/lb in a criss cross pattern and then up to 40 .
so tommorw heres the plan....this is to remind myself ha
- try burping the system again ( heat on, rad cap open, bleeder valve )
- swap old tstat back in and test new one
- swap old leaky wp back in
- flush radiator to test flow....even though idk why chanign tstat and wp would cause a plug all of the sudden
- give up and take to dealer
I had trouble getting my cooling system primed when I did mine. I was filling through the radiator, which didn't get me anywhere. I ended up removing one end of the top hose and filling from there.
thanks prof. were you getting overheating until you got it? The reservior level doesnt seem to want to move when i start it up but i know i lost at least a gallon or 2 when i took everything apart. Other vehicles ive worked on just suck the coolant in the reservoir up the second i start it or at least when up to temp
