** Getting Hot??? **
 
Sooo noticed my heat gauge going up so thought it was my thermostat cause it was old as hell... Changed that and it seemed to be fine for a whole day, started to heat up again like my coolant is disipating but dunno where its going. Dont see any leaks at all, and not seeing Water in my oil or oil in the water as signs of head gasket.... Anyone be a lil more help for me?

i had a really small leak in my factory radiator near the fill neck. the plastic literally dissolves after so much time/heat. it took me quite a while to finally notice, but that might be a good place to start looking

no leaks anywhere at all... car idles like it wants to die and things, pulled spark plugs #1 cylinder plug has bad build up and lookin down inside the piston seems to be wet unlike the rest.... Headgasket???

radiator could be clogg

how would i find that out, never ran into that problem before

drain it, pull it out, run a cup of water through it with the drain open and see if a cup of water comes out. but if you've got liquid in #1 cylinder, i'd figure out why.

headgasket

I'd probably go with headgasket too.

JaydmEJ6 01-30-2009 11:28 PM

Changed headgasket.... notice a difference in compression and everything and seems to be doing better... Top Radiator hose I notice after driving my car seems to squeeze almost close, any reasons why this would happen?

no coolant if its squeezing closed. add coolant and let the system bleed all the air out
