Ya think? I took pictures. The metal part of the gasket is actually
blown up into the oil passage. Maybe a quarter inch. It is an
impressive blowout. I have never seen a gasket with a blowout like
this. I have seen a bigger blowout between cylinders (on a gas
engine) But a blowout into
Put it up on ramps. Remove upper radiator hose from radiator. Loosen
same hose at thermostat
housing then rotate hose so end you removed is pointing up. Fill with
mixed coolant until radiator
core is covered. Reattach hose to radiator then top off with coolant.
Start engine and wait until temp '
Thanks. I'll try that on the kids car this week.

put it up on ramps when you fill so that the air has to travel upward to
escape. Light it off when you think it is full and keep it on the ramps until
the needle starts to move. Pop the cap and pour more water in until full, then
cap it and pull off the ramps and hit the road

That's what I figured. The coolant leve
Did you fully burp the system?
Air backed up will compress and cause issues, so getting any stray air out
allows the hot water to flow all around. Might be that after letting it cool
down, enough of the steam/compressed air escaped the system and more water was
then able to complete its travel

Flushed the cooling system on the 300cd today. Went well, however, after I put
the new coolant and thermostat in, the temperature went to about 110 centigrade
and the top radiator hose was cold, as was the defroster. I drove it around the
block, and the car stayed at 110, and on arriving home th

Fan switch is bad or the wire is grounded somewhere. It won't ever go
over 80C with the fan going and cool temps outside unless the
thermostat is bad.

Got mine all buttoned up sans 7.5mm pump and its running just fine. Did
some spirited driving and couldnt get it up over 80 c. Kinda scary.
Wierd part is that my aux rad fan is on and wont stop running. Not sure
what to think about that since it has NEVER cut on before...

The head is loose.
I have to go get a short hunk of chain to hook it up to the engine hoist.
Max, Yes, I am hoping the head is ok. Not proven yet.
No inspection yet, as I have not lifted it up yet.. Just got it
lose from the block. Left exhaust manifolds and turbo hang on the
head for now
So this head you are taking off is good, but you suspect the head gasket?

Guess I shoulda started pulling the timing chain guide rail pins on
the head earlier. Top one came out ok. Bottom one is recessed in
the head. That way it collects water and induces that good ol steel
to aluminium chemical bond. It appears to have no separation between
the pin and the head
