My Tbird was overheating like crazy, no oil in water and no water in oil but the head gasket was shot and warped the heads. Didn't figure that out til it was too late for the heads. I had just thought it was a bad guage for a while then, til it over heated enough to shut down. Well the guage was bad, was reading lower than it actually was.
But take a look into the things I mentioned. Hopefully its something simple.
yeah, i figure i have to tear it apart. sucks, as i just put it in last week, so it would have been easier on the stand. oh well.
i have another set of heads - have to chekc them as they are on the old motor that broke a rod, so i don't know if any valve damage occurred when things seperted. want to look inside anyway...just no time yet. maybe today - it's raining.
