[ash23]

gutted mate. my sister's dt block cracked over winter once, no antifreeze ftl.

the thing is that this has allways had antifreeze in so it wouldnt have froze and cracked and its never over heated just goes to 90 and drops back to 80 like it should.
can you remember the symptoms with your sis dt? or way it obvious ?

thanks ash

[samass]

just kept overheating and pressurizing coolant i think, cant really remember, it was a couple of years ago, didnt know much about cars back then

[ozonehostile]

sorry to hear about your engine, just read through your project and hats off to your engine detailing, looks awesome with the polished and painted bosch pump, think i might have to do the same on my engine after seeing this

[Ruan]

You 1000000000% you bled it correctly and all the air was out?

If I were you, I'd run it with the fans on, rad cap off for 30 mins, see what happens... Watch for bubbles in the expansion tank...
