Subject:Im back with air ... mind boggling
From:Dave Vieira
Date:Wed, 6 Nov 2002 06:58:39 -0800

Hey all

well . im still gettin air in there.. now more then
ever ..maybe be due to the fact that i removed the
core of the thermostat, i did that cause thats the way
the engine came. i got the engine for a junk yard its
been sitting on the self for 3 years and it runs good.
but when i got it i put a good thermostat in it  but
just yersterday i took it out again  and now i get air
in there much faster and it overheats, like 10kms and
its done need to pull over and bleed ,  before when
the thermostat was in it wouldnt over heat . just the
light would blink ( i was took that mean there is no
water)  then i learned how to bleed the system (thank
you all) and it would work for a long time before the
light came on and i would get heat off and on .. now i
know i was told that the gases from the cyclinders
could be leeking into the system and well i dont want
to accpet that just yet cause i just got the damm
thing on the road and its my everyday way around :)
did a comperssion test and no leaking there ... i
though cause it happends so far that it would be more
of a noticable leak.  but could it be anything else
... does this engine vent (PCV) or something .. or is
it time for a reseal (nooo !!)

thanks .
