more info please. give us the scenario of what happens

 

if u just retorqued the head bolts you might of stripped one(ones enough)... did they all torque with easy? because the headgasket might be expanding and let oil/anifreeze mix... check ur oil to see if there is milky resedue.... almost brownish... gl

 

It overheated before we retorqued the studs. One member on here said that his studs losened and overheated his motor so we thought that might have been the problem. "This is y we retorqued them; just to be safe. Just checked the oil and it looked just fine.

Could it be a crimped hose?? Thanks

does it overheat while at idle parked...?? wait u bought a pusher fan right?? becareful with those things... when i bought mine, i justy hooked it up thinking that that either way it would push blow air through radiator..... place a piece of paper and see if the paper is sucked throught the radiator(into it)... the air should be blowing the paper towards the motor... just check. i know it sounds dumb but when i switched over that was my problem

 

did you use a hondata intake manifold gasket

 

i flipped the blades so that it pushes. I can feel the air blowing through.

 

Nope

EDIT: Problem fixed. THanks
