Well tonight i had to say fuck it to going to the g/fs house and we back flushed the radiator about 20 thousand times and re tensioned the head down more than we did.

I took it for a drive and it seems much better (didnt go overhalf) But then again, it never does when i top the radiator up. So at the moment im getting my hopes up. I test drove it at night. so weather wasnt hot.

tomorrow when i go chrissy shopping shall be the big testa. now if it doesnt work possibly head change (have one sitting around, but the original checked out ok when put back together)

If im actualy gonna do it is another story...
But if that is done and still overheeats then its the block. then a big fuckit appears on my face before i kick it and buy g/fs mums gemi. make one good 1 outta the 2.

Then save for new coar and moto.

haha BIG PLANS my ass.

Have you replaced the temp guage and temp sender and all that ?

Might need a radiator re-core ? Back flushed the engine too ?
