Re: 1995 3000gt overheating need help
It does sound like a cracked head or a head gasket leak, not necessarily blown, just leaking. If there is a leak in the head gasket, it will only get worse and eventually it will blow. If the head is cracked, liquid glass would only work as a band- aid type fix, it's not a permanent solution. It would hold for about a year and that's if you're very gentle on the engine; lower revs and no burying the throttle, which in a 3000 GT I'm sure is always tempting. The only permanent solution I can see here is to remove the head and check it very carefully for cracks. When I say carefully, I mean use a magnifying glass in the best possible lighting. If the head is cracked, you'll have to get a new one, and of course when a cylinder head is removed, the old head gasket cannot be reused.
