Ok so I posted up here about two months ago about an overheating problem I was having after doing a DOHC swap. Never really figured out the problem but after bleeding and such it just went away and the car was fine. Drove it for those 2 months with no problems, even took it to my buddys cabin for the weekend (4 hour drive to get there) and I had no porblems there and back.
Now I was going to meet a friend yesterday and I decided to check the fliuds because I haven't in a week. So I popped it open and the oil was fine and realized the coolent seemed a bit low in the res. So I took off the rad cap (herd a weird nosie) then looked in the rad and put the cap back on. As I was driving to meet my friend I noticed it was gettin hot like 3/4 ( half is normal) so I pulled over. I let the car sit for a few mins then drove to go meet him, the car kept gettin hot so I would turn it off. I decided I did not want to drive it home so I got towed. So today I went n bought a rad cap and tried to bleed the system. Still overheating
I have changed the water pump, rad cap, thermostat in the last 2000km. I'm all out of ideas, so if anyone thinks they know the problem I need to know it asap lol.
