mixing up the head bolts
i've got an 89 camaro 350. broke a rocker stud and pulled the head. lined up the bolts as i took them out. after getting it back together the motor overheats after about a half hour. the coolant overflow bottle fills almost to the top and won't drain back to the radiator. i changed the radiator cap, no luck. there's a slow gurgle after i shut the motor off but the bottle level stays the same. is it possible i mixed up the head bolts and blocked a coolant passage in the block? there's 2 bolts shorter than the others. can anyone advise of where those 2 go in the head. maybe i just need to retorque the head bolts. any help is apprecciated. thanx, rick
The Australians have finally discovered the origin of the word 'Vegan.' Apparently it's an old Aboriginal word for 'Bad Hunter.'
