over heating?

[Spody02]

i'm confused?
just rebuild the motor for boost, and put a new water pump and thermostat
and i when on kind of long drive for like 45 mins maybe and on the way back it started to go above the half mark so blasted the heat and went back to normal, and its been trying to over heat but i keep blasting the heat, what else could be messed up

just throwing it out there maybe your radiator is bad?

or you have a defective WP or thermostat..


Check your coolant?

does your fan turn on?

radiator has 2k miles on, it broke so i diected to rebuild the motor haha

when you bled the coolant its very possible you didnt bleed all the air out so you may have a hot air pocket causing your temp gauge to spike....then when you turn the heat on it opens up the heater core and flows it through there moving the pocket around. just a possibility. try bleeding it again with the nose of the car facing uphill to help the air pockets move to the rad and out.

I'M GAY!

looked very closely and found out my hoses had a small leak then checked how low the coolant was and i pretty much filled my radiator back up
