Default INTEGRA OVERHEATING

Hey guys neewbie here. Just bought a 98 integra, stock, automatic and is overheating like a b***h. tried everything, shaved head, new head gasket, still happens though. I really need your help. I can afford to spend too much repairing it as i have spent my entire savings repairing my old car (before i sold it) and the integra. PLEASE HELP!

Maybe the thermostat? Does your radiator have any cracks/leaks.

give us some more info on the overheating.

when does it happen, how hot does it get, does it ever go back down.

that'll help people answer your question.

it usually goes to about half the guage then goes down. only happens climbing hills. the resevior gets filled to the brim with coolant (water).

wow i've never heard of 2 drops of soap in the radiator. wtf does that do?

if you keep losing coolant, then check your water pump. whenever you come back to your car in the morning squeeze on the upper radiator hose to see if it's built up pressure. go from there....

The only thing I could possibly think of it doing, is if you have a leak in your system, it'll bubble and be eaiser to spot where the leak is coming from.

But i'd never put soap in my coolant system.
Unless you were doing a complete flush of your system afterwards.
