srgunz Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I had the same problem also on my 240. Finally pulled the radiator and took it to a radiator shop. They did flow test and said it was 65% pluged up. In my case it had to be recored. My symptom was same, ok in town but temp guage would go way up on highway at any speed over 55mph.

Evan Purple240zt Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Are you reusing head bolts? Your not supposed too unless your using ARP studs. Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locodrftr Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 Yep i live in azusa....im just south of the 210fwy....everyone and there mom goes up to gmr now...too many people now. As for the head bolts ive reused them b4 and had no problems....until now...i just installed the msa 6-1 header and car ran great for about a day...now i noticed there is some water that seems to be seeping out the side of the headgasket on the passenger side.....rrrrr i retorqued the headbolts but that didn't do much...i dont know if its because of the headbolts or the gasket itself or maybe a uneven block....no smoke or water in the oil..i think i might pull the head again and check everything. i need someone with a nice straightedge to check the block though....something always goes wrong... f$#k!!!!!!!!!

Daeron Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 what kind of head is that built head you swapped on?? the second one pictured, with the "new" and "used" pics? I am trying to build a hoard of cylinder head photos for a detailed pictorial post (hopefully for sticky) and I noticed the unshrouding work done in the CC around the valves, thought it was an interesting shot. I want the casting # so I know it for reference.. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locodrftr Posted November 3, 2007 Author Share Posted November 3, 2007 ^^ its a E88 head if thats what u mean... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeron Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Thanks! you don't have any other pictures of the head before it was used, do you? possibly some shots into the intake and exhaust ports? if not, its no big deal.. the shot of the worked combustion chamber was the big one; I can take pictures of all the heads I have once I get a decent camera.
