A month ago, I went to the rover shop and had my radiator replaced. Since then, after close monitoring, there is no leakage dripping down from behind the engine onto the ground. Before this change, I have used some sealant for head gaskets. Now, prior to that, who knows who else used the same remedy. I have 96,000 on the rig, and I do believe that if you just simply replace the radiator with a new one, most of the over heating problems will be solved. I also recommend that one should never use stop leak into the radiator.
For the record, I am not a mechanic. Just trying to use some logic, and I hope this is helpful.

 

Yea......

 

I believe that too. I saw it, I know it's true. I believe. People don't believe that I know it's true. They don't know what they are talking about. I'm right.

BTW what's that reference, I am kicking myself with not knowing.

Got it, insurance advert....... Just watched on you tube. I might stop quietly chuckling tomorrow.

 

Overheating, I'll give you that one.
New radiator curing the leaking head.......that's not how this works.

If you really want to cure our oveheating issues, put the thermostat in the lower intake and switch to an electric fan with a proper controller. Eliminate the temperature swings.....

 

Electric fan? I agree %100. Belt driven fan increases fuel consumption and puts wear and tear on the motor. all the new cars and trucks have them.

 

yes they do, for 80-year that got by just fine with belt driven fans. Some may say there were even considerable less problems when all they used we belt drive fans
