Good day Mr Martin, bled the system used a shorter blanking plug at egr temp sender and installed the fan shroud but temp still seems to be high at the head reading slightly more than 180 degrees Fahrenheit at aftermarket guage....83 degrees Celsius at head but slightly less than normal on stock...

Ok well on Sunday will try everything I've thought of this past week plus all of your suggestions and get back to you

Mr Martin....with respect to the localised boiling....in the middle of the head is a spot for a temp sender which on my old head was blanked off...it was about half inch long....I used a similar threaded bolt to blank off the one on the new head but it is almost 2 inches long....is it possible...

No heater anymore....in Trinidad we have no need for it....the heater pipe is blanked off with a blanking cap and the nipple at the back of the head has been replaced with a temperature sending unit

can you expand on the localized boiling fanatic

Bled with a hose at the expansion tank and let engine run for a while until no air...then tighten both caps

Haven't taken it for a run yet...so don't know about coolant loss

Is it possible to further tighten the head bolts....

Used one of the elring gaskets.....have a MLS gasket but at the time it required too much preparation of the surfaces

Not seeing cracks in bore....hgf? But compared to the previous pressure problem it's not as bad as before....actually the only problem is when I switch the vehicle off....only then the pressure starts to build....otherwise it stays normal in the expansion tank. Would like to buy one of the...

Mr Martin I am wondering if one of the water ports on the block are too badly corroded

so I blew into both ends of the hoses and into the expansion tank and it seems to flow well is their any other way to check it

My thoughts also

No thermostat for a long while now

So any other ideas for me to try.....the more work the better

Nice more work.....:D Love working on the landy, just times like this **** me off...almost burnt it down today:rolleyes:

Ah fanatic....my thought exactly...was changed about a year back the complete unit with the three hoses my mind just ran on that....only thing is how to check it?

Same thing im thinking....the water pump should be good was recently changed,what could cause this....the problem with the old head was the low spot at the waterway...but this problem doesn't seem to want to go away...is there any way to check for over pressure?

Really cold...the coolant from the head is flowing back into the expansion tank, if I switch off and start the temp rises to 100degrees Celsius and radiator gets cold,however if I just crack the plug on the thermostat housing and allow the coolant to come back to the head the temp goes back to...

So I still have an issue.....changed the head with the new one,new composite gasket...but this is what im seeing external temperature gauge in head showing 100 degrees Celsius stock gauge at less than half(just under) using egt gauge to measure temp at head showing 81degrees Celsius....I don't...
