CAP OFF AND STILL OVERFLOWING AND BUBBLING??

[craigauz]

JUST STARTED MY FJ40 UP AFTER FILLING 50/50 COOLAND AND WATER TO OVERFLOW AND RADIATOR. IT JUST BUBBLES OUT THE RADIATOR AND OVERFLOWS?????
NO OFF COLOUR IN THE OIL. WHAT NEXT?

[brissle]

head or head gasket fuked

[craigauz]

any other checks to make sure... isnt the oil suppose to be a milky colour

Not always. Depends on where the gasket rupture is. Yours must be exhaust to cooling system. You can get a carbon test done on your cooling system to confirm this. Mine went the same way, no oil in water/water in oil.

BAM!

Can you see bubbles in the water or is it just running over? Sounds like combustion gases as has already been stated.

[loosecanon]

yea run the engine and if you see any bubbles in the radiator a good chance the head is gone, and i already gave another idea in your other thread,

And thankyou to all other genuine NON-sensitive replies.. Just had gas check and compression and all is fine.

Just cleaned this thread up.

Was it doing it before you changed the coolant. If it wasnt, open the heater tap ( turn the heater on in the car) and run it until the truck reaches operating temp as there could be an airlock in the heater hoses/ core. If it was already doing it, Is it when the car is hot or cold ?? reason i ask is, if its cold and bubbling out of the radiator, its nearly certainly a blown head gasket. If its only when its hot. Its any or a combination of the following, blocked radiator, failed viscous hub, loose fan belts, missing fan belts ?!?!?, blocked thermostat, failed waterpump, or a blockage in the cooling system some where along the line.

[VooDoo]

Have you bleed the system? An air pocket will cause the water to boil and can be caused by incorrect filling, blockages in the system or a stuck thermostat as well. It might not be all doom and gloom just yet. Check thermostat first

[craigauz]

Thanks guys,as I said I got it checked finally and he couldnt detect any gasses in the coolant and did a compression test along the 6 cylinders all reading 180.

She hasnt got a heater but am looking, now the worst case is eliminated, at caps, thermostats, etc. Tried to burb it but it kept running out the top with bubbles????
Weird hey

[old ed]

If all you did was change the coolant and you don't have gasses blowing into the cooling system, about the only other possibility is an air lock. If the system is basicly standard it should be self bleeding. I would check the thermostat to make sure the jiggle pin hole is clear if it's blocked, the system wont bleed readily and as the air heats up it will expand and displace water. LOL Ed.

Figured it out yet possum?

Good thing you called it. Barnsey would never have seen it himself.

[craigauz]

Thats just Luvely Barnsy, Bloke cant even have a cuddle and he's a Hmm !!

Anyhow my Yarpy friend, When I get off this Bloody boat in 2 weeks ill tell ya.

Have ordered a thermostat,radiator cap the pumps new ,,,so unless she got a big airlock it should be fine.

[RAY185]

Ahh. So you haven't figured it out at all. Best of luck old mate.

Ps: WTF is a Yarpy?
