He can get one of those yellow bleeder kits at Harbor Frieght. The thing I read awhile ago was to jack the front of the car up, turn the heater on and have the radiator cap off until it stops burping all the air out then shut it off (around the time the Tstat opens) and that should be all that...

You have to remember that when you turn the car off, that the water pump and and fan also stop. So the water temp gauge will spike for a moment because there is no flow. It's normal operation

After neglect the previous 20? Owner just wants to get car running to move. Engine turns over freely, not other issues seen.

The water pump was rusted stuck... The water pump passages in the block were blocked by rust... Let me know how I'm making a big deal out of a date coded rare engine for a numbwrs matching car

How do i run motor flush... If the car isn't running?

Thats a good idea, I'll wait to see if there are any easier ones without having to remove freeze plugs

I guess no one reads my posts anymore... I'm trying to do this before starting the car. I appreciate the tips for when the car is running, but I would like to know what to do BEFORE starting the car

I have a friends car whose engine has been sitting for 7 years, in the car. Looks like it was never completely flushed before sitting and now there is probably some rust build up in the jackets. I wanted to hear opinions on filling engine with vinegar for a week and letting it sit and then...

We have been talking and he was having this weird issue of the car getting hot while driving, but said it would cool down while idling

The water pump could be going bad. But yes, running water without the proper additive like a water wetter will force the WP to fail early. But I believe he just put this engine together and has less than 500 miles on it. For all he knows, it could have air in the system! Might need to burp the...

You're.....lol it does not close. How would it close if it opens specifically when the water temp gets to the temp above the thermostats rating? IF the water is always above the thermostats rating, I would think that means the thermostat would be forced to be open. no? and Rusty you are...

Okay? Thanks for at least trying to contribute to the post.

How is what I said not true...if your response was describing it failing? Those are two different discussions, the purpose of the Tstat and the ways it can fail? lmao:violent1: The thermostat limits the lowest operating temp. The Thermostat begins to open at its rated temp., and fully opens...

Once the stat is open... Its open. Purpose of stat is to allow engine to warm up faster and slightly restrict flow.

Radiator should be fine. Burp the system. Take radiator cap off, jack front end up car up and let it warm up to burp all the air out of the system. And fill as needed

Thats a nice setup James

Oh how I would love one for my Champion with Dual fans ;)

180 T stat and burp all the air out of it.

LOL!! Thats your problem, no chrome thermostat housing is sealable. Get a stocker from autozone or something and seal it up. aka I have the chrome one 2, I know it does not work.

Any thermostat should work if its the older style and not the magnum air gap.

The car is leaking coolant and I have no place to work on it. I was wondering if anyone In So cal Near anaheim within 10 miles could lend a hand or an area to check on it before I take it to pepboys. I put 1 gallon of coolant in and before I know its gone. Thing that sucks the most is...I have...

How does one go about doing this..http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=19124 Also I have the magnum eddy intake so I want to know if the chevy spacer will work on this intake.

Now im leaning towards purple for my car with this color :tongue9:

Champion fans and rad. no shroud less than 300 and runs cooler than 190

oh ok, whats the price? I might as well pickup from them, since their less than 15 min from me. Champion that is

Never had this problem with mine, thank god. But I do have a lift off hood, but still clears.

uhhh ya they do...I was going to get it when I first bought it from a guy in OC, but didnt have the spare cash for it. I believe its 26

how much for a shroud?

yup

2 core, 3 core blah.. I got a 3 core from them and sometimes, it runs so good that I dont even need the fans on. Also I run straight water and Jb brothers products :)
