94 ej1 y8 swap overheating
So I've had my ej1 for almost 2 years, the first 3 months were good and than it started overheating, I checked my water pump it was good, I changed my thermostat, and finally I changed my head gasket, it ran good for about a month and than started over heating again, changed head gasket again, and once again for about a month it was good than started again, my water pump seems to be fine no leaks, my thermostat is still good what else could keep making it over heat? I've had it sit there for a year now ,
And want to get it started back up, Sorry if I posted in wrong place and thanks for any help I get

Has the engine ever been treated with one of those cures in a can for blown head gasket?
Read the service manual procedure to do a proper bleed. Bleed as instructed.
Consider replacing radiator.

Re: 94 ej1 y8 swap overheating
Start the car and warm it up for a few minutes. Shut it off and see if the entire radiator is hot/warm. I had a Scuby overheat like that and it ended up being the radiator was about 2/3 clogged. Very possible if it has been treated as described above.
As well, sometimes a water pump will go bad without leaking. My Y8 had a pump in which the impeller was just pressed onto the shaft. Its possible for it to come off and stop pumping without leaking. So check to make sure its still pumping. Good luck.
