Ok, I finally got an hour to start my new motor with the new BeCool radiator. after about 5 minutes of running, I noticed the temp creeping up to 240-250 range. I shut down the motor and opened the radiator cap. STUPID, I KNOW. :hand:
of course water shot out under pressure and it seemed to be full of rust and it wasn't that hot or I'd be burned right now.
:injured:
so, i refilled the rad and started the car again, this time without the cap on so I could check the fluid level and water very quickly SHOT out of the radiator again.
so do I have an air pocket or is the water pump bad? and what is the rust from? the engine is newly rebuilt so I guess it could be from there. any help would be great!
