SpikeyJp_68 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Brought my car out for a quick test drive after changing a timing belt idler pulley and noticed my temp gauge wasnt moving. Brought it back anyway turned it off and felt the rad hoses. The top one was hot and had a lot of pressure in it. Felt like a balloon. So much pressure it feels as if its about to burst. The lower one is warm and has a normal amount of pressure. Anyone know what could cause this ? Coolant is full but doesnt seem to ve overflowing into the tank Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SpikeyJp_68 Posted April 22, 2018 Author Share Posted April 22, 2018 Temp gauge now working after fiddling with plugs. No bubbles from rad when running, cylinders are dry and head is torqued properly. Starting to think its normal now maybe ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
