Hi guys, I’m Back !

After long time of abscence, after week end and week end doing mecanic stuff, here we are, I have finally opened my engine.

I m going to post all of the pics I took of the result.

I need your experience to diagnose my head gasket to see what happened, i did not see the path who take the air to go away in my coolant system.

Let me know, if you see something wrong, something strange on the pics.

Thanks in advance

John

Oh my … ! I ‘ve got the same issue coming out the box …

So my coolant was stayed in the expansion tank, keep good temp value, until I decided to do very high rev test on the highway, so i push the engine very close of the red zone on every gear, to do a real good test …

The result is : :woohoo: :huh: noo!!!

> The first part of my run was good, the coolant temp stayed in a good value, 90°C, so i push the engine more
> About 2/3 min after the run began, the coolant temperature is touch the 110°C (very close of the max) and the coolant flow away again … Dashboard alarm start bliking :pinch:

So i ve got just 1/2 min to park again in my friend’s home.

I talk about that on the phone with a guy who know mecanic stuff, and he tell me : “it’s my head gasket !”

His explanation was because of a lil crack in the head gasket, the combustion chamber bleed some air pressure (high rev only), that pressure added to my coolant system who cause the symptom : Coolant spread off the expansion tank !

It s seem to me it s good explanation … by the way i watch the ETCG videos who talk about overheating problem, i think ETCG reach the same conclusion, isnt it ?

Tell me if all of you agree with me ?

@ETCG > where i can buy the tester kit who tell you if there any combustion gas in the coolant system ? What his name ?

@LJB > I think my water pump is OK because the coolant come up to her or the lower part of the cooling system , and come back in my expansion tank,I see it in the expansion tank, it s seem to be good, but i stil do the web search to see.

@Everyone : Thanks in advance 4 all

Ohhh your french isn’t bad at all, you ve made some mistake but i known french is a difficult language.

Franch > Antifreeze is Liquide de Refroidissement

You re right, i forgot this point so i m going to level up with my engine running and do it this time.

My engine ve got some another issue but i m going to resolve it time after, after time.
But for me the most important thing is :
-have no coolant system issue
-have no oil systeme issue
After that i m going to fix all point need to fix

I hope i m going to reach that goal.

If you need to find diagram & scheme in french, you should buy on this site :

http://www.revue-technique-auto.fr/

It’s a french site where you can buy technical book on cars. I dont know the term in english.

technical book on cars => revue technique auto, “auto” it’s the nickname or diminutive of “automobile” => car in french.

I hope you’ve got some answers in my reply.

When this topic will be closed i m gonna open a new one on my clutch system, it’s an hydraulic one who my pedal fall deep on the floor.

Hi guy, i have some results… 🙂

After bleeding my coolant system and refill it, i ve got a new behavior now when i stop the engine, the coolant does not disapear, it s a good news but, now i going to top up with some coolant to stabilize the level…

The 1st of my test was to run my engine in slow rev with my expansion tank open, close it after some minutes and after that do some test with my cap close.

I have to re-do some test in high rev to see what happen.

Even if my issue does not fully resolved yet … Thanks a lot for all of your replies.

Thanks ETCG for all your videos n topic banana:

Keep in touch

Hi, Shane940

All of the hoses are warm around my radiator.

For the bubbling, yeah I hear it too, I had to flush the system for a while but i didn t 😆 .
That maybe will be the first step to do, regarding my issue, such a biigg mistake of mine :whistle: .

I m going to do it as soon as possible.
I hope that will resolve my issue.

Keep in touch

Thanks
