Over heating is caused by either inefficiency in the cooling system or the engine locally over heating the coolant. I assume there is no water loss, if so source the leak before doing any of the suggestions below.
Cooling system inefficiency could be caused by: Poor radiator - usually blocked tubes. (Clean or replace radiator core) Malfunctioning thermostat.(replace thermostat) Worn water pump or slipping fan belt. (Tighten fan belt/replace water pump) Engine overheating the coolant is generally caused by: Non operating thermostat (replace); A blown head gasket (remove head and check for flatness then replace with new head gasket). Or a cracked cylinder head (repair crack or replace cylinder head) Retarded spark (adjust distributor) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eko Idamoni" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, 25 April 2002 14:24 PM Subject: Overheating > > Hi all, > > I'm a new member in this groups, please allow me to introducing my self. > My name is Eko Idamoni live in Java-Indonesia and have a 1970 Datsun > Station Wagon (OHC). > Now I have serious problem regarding the overheating, if any body have any > idea regarding this matter, please give me some advise. > > Thanks, > Eko > > > --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
