Does it keep overheating? 1. Replace your radiator (resevoir) cap. 2. See if anything improves. 3. Quit freaking doing this: :banghead:?????????????????????????????:banghead: It's like you saved all of your punctuation until the end of the post. Just trying to help .. .. .. chevyman4life 10-04-2007, 02:08 AM i replaced the resivoir and filled with water to check the system out and now i what looks like oil comeing from one of the spark plugs? shakewell 10-04-2007, 06:45 PM Well your valve cover gasket could be bad but that wouldn't cause the resevoir problem. I can't help more unless you answer the questions in my first post. chevyman4life 10-05-2007, 02:10 AM the resivoir exploded because my engine fan dont kick in to keep the engin cool while it is idleing so it over heats when running and sitting still so i tried to shut it off that night that it happen but i fell asleep in the parking lot before i got it shut off because i had just worked a 43hrs straight before and was sitting and waiting on a friend and fell asleep thats what happen there. shakewell 10-05-2007, 02:19 AM You might have problems that I can't hep you with then. This might help some (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=punctuation&btnG=Google+Search) chevyman4life 10-11-2007, 02:03 PM i now have water in my oil i know what that might be but i have fuel smell in my resivoir that i have no clue on? 1991tercel 10-11-2007, 04:23 PM So because you didn't want to spend $20 on a fan motor you let your car overheat and blow your headgasket. Now your $20 fan motor is going to cost $20 for the fan motor (still) $10-$15 for the resivor for the collant and from $100-$1,000 for the head gasket to be replaced. The gasket is fairly cheap but if your motor got hot enough to blow put shit then you head it most likey toast. A head is probably $100-$300 and then the parts inside could be transfer from your old head. inafogg 10-11-2007, 06:04 PM fuel smell is probily misfire from not burning gas. as the plug fouled from water in oil. thus the gas ends up in the oil because it wasnt burned TooMuchRock 10-23-2007, 05:27 PM Fan goes bad in the cavalier around 100k. Even after replacing this, had to replace entire head gasket and remachine the head. Cost around $500 for the labor and parts, and that was because a friend of mine did it. 1991tercel 10-24-2007, 12:20 PM head gaskets and 2200's don't mix well Related Links Participate in thousands of discussions at AutomotiveForums.com!
