94' Skylark 2.3L - Rebuilt Head and Now Overheats
I will try to make this breif and easy to read.
- 1994 Buick Skylark Custom, 2.3L QUAD OHC Engine, 150,000 miles - 9 months ago it started running rough - 4 months ago it wouldn't start (no compression) - Turns out timing slipped and valves got bent - Had head re-machined and replaced valves - Put engine back together and filled with water - Ran engine (IT WORKS) - Drained water and replaced with coolant/water mix - Engine will idle fine and the temp goes from 180-230 up and down while going slow - When driving 45+ the engine temp goes to red line (280) - If I shut off the engine there is a loud water hammer in the radiator - When I pull the bleader hose that comes from the engine outlet lots of steam pours out but no coolant - I let the steam come out and add more coolant until it is full and coolant comes out of the bleader hose - The radiator is hot on the in side and cool on the out side and the heat works so I think the water pump is working. I have blead the coolant several times but it keeps overheating. Is there another way to blead it? Could there be air stuck in the head? Is there something I am missing? |
