Re: overheating.... (rotate-da)
common causes of overheating:
-air in system (bleed air from system)
-external leaks (visual inspection-etc. rad., water pump. cap, hoses)
-fans not coming on (bad relay or circuit)
-dirty coolant (drain and fill system with new coolant)
-blown head gasket (inspect oil and coolant for mixture)
-thermostat stuck closed (upper hose will still be cold upon normal op. temp)
