and any leaks? coolant or oil?

 

what engine

 

I hear gurgling in my over flow tank sometimes and it doesn't overheat

 

Did you check the head and block surfaces with a stright edge?

 

Probably didn't get the headgasket on correctly.

 

Happened once with a dropped sleeve.

 

first thing do a leak down.

 

HEAD GASKET WAS CORRECT, BLOCK WAS JUST SLEEVED, HEAD WAS JUST MACHINED. ITS ON A LS/VTEC. IM PULLING THE HEAD OFF MONDAY. ITS JUST A LTTLE PUZZELING

 

leakdown test?

 

this happened to me yesterday and it was a bad rad cap

 

mine was doin that, and i tightened the tabs on my rad cap, and it stopped

50/50 coolant mix? Air bled from system? T-stat good? Rad cap leaking?

 

FOUND THE OVER HEATING ISSUE THE TWO HOSES ON THE BACK OF THE MOTOR WAS CROSSED BUT STILL HAVE THE GURGLING THING AND AT MOMENTS IT THROWS UP COOLANT

 

sounds like headgasket / block-head mating issues to me.

 

both were decked before put together. (head & block)
