thermastat 636 replacement

[navajowalks]

Did you fix it?

[Duane S.]

fuck no its even worse think I need to drain it and try a different coolant and if that doesn't work then I think its the head gasket

[navajowalks]

How quick does it over heat? LOL and your sure that you got all the air out of the system... And your radiator doesn't need to be clr'd?

naw I'm going to run distill water threw it and then put some engine ice in it I guess

[navajowalks]

Have you tried back flushing the coolant system?

We need #'s here, how hot does it get? Does it over fill the overflow? Does it cool off if you put it in 6th and cruise around?

A little trick to help keep air out of the system is to use an aspirin to hold the thermostat open while you fill the system.

[navajowalks]

How do you do that? The asprin part...?

[Duane S.]

it gets up to 240, it slowly climbs up and when I ride around in 2nd it'll cool down

Take the thermostat out, push it open a little with your hands, slide an aspirin in the opening so it can't close all the way.

The coolant will dissolve the aspirin after you fill the system.

Does it overfill the overflow? Will it get up to 240 just idling?
