I stopped my the shop yesterday and the mechanic had the heads off the car. He told me that he found water in the two rear cyclinders but that the head gasket was good. He's still leaning towards the block being cracked. He said he will have the block out by Tuesday. He also showed me that...

Yeah I took the car to a local mustang shop and they told me that they ran a radiator test and the fluid turned pink. They seam to think that the block may be cracked. They are going to open up the motor and check everything out. I hope it's just the head gaskets but if it's the block I'm...

I checked the lower hose yesterday evening and it was not collapsed. There's plenty of pressure at the lower hose and there's visible water flow. I'm beginning to think the radiator and/or fans may not be sufficient.

Guys, Here's the back ground in my overheating issue. As the weather got warmer so did the car with the stock radiator and fan clutch. This is why I decided to upgrade it. I am using the stock instrument gauge to read the temp. It did work perfectly before the issues started. At the moment...

I've replaced the thermostat 3 times already. The one in the car now is a fail safe. I would think it should be fine. The radiator is an EBay 3 row aluminum radiator with two electric fans. Could it be possible that this radiator isn't sufficient?

Ok guys I'm stumped! I replaced the water pump, timing cover, & bolts. Put everything back together and burped the system. The car is still overheating. Thermostat seems to be opening up and coolant is flowing thru the radiator. I have noticed that both upper and lower radiator hoses have...

Sounds like a good Idea to check the cover while I got the pump out. Is there any photo of what the cover should look like? I know mine has EFI and an upgraded pump in the tank. So there shouldn't be a mechanical fuel pump opening. Thanks again!

ok I will do that, I did buy a new bolt kit from LMR so that all the bolts are new. I will use anti seize as well. Thanks!

Does anyone know if I must change the timing cover gasket when I replace the water pump? I don't see any signs of the timing cover gasket leaking. Should I just do it for good measure? What is everyone's experience with this? Thanks, Dan

MFE92, You bring up a very good point. I will double check the belt installation and rotation this weekend. I've been out on vacation and will resume work on the car this weekend. I did replace all spark plugs, wires, and cap/rotor on the car as the plug wires where toasted since the car was...

Pulled 4 plugs two from each side and they don't look wet, there some oil on the threads but the tips are dry. Cleaned the threads and it's definitely oil and not coolant.

1990 LX with 69k Miles and c4 automatic trans. Stock 5.0 bottom end with holley heads, Holley intake and e303 cam. I bought the car with those engine mods. Oil has always been clean and no white smoke. I will pull the plugs today to see if they are wet but no signs of a blow head gasket...

Hello, Let me start by saying that I am new to the domestic car scene and this is my first fox body mustang. I purchased the car in the winter time and drove it around town without any overheating issues. As the weather got hotter so did the car. I've decided to change the following. 1. New...
