well im running a mini-me with a y8 head and it keeps pushing the coolant into the overflow resavoir. it will have coolant shooting out of the overflow in less than 30 minutes. its got a brand new radiator(autozone), radiator cap, thermostat, headgasket. the radiator fan is working. i have no idea what the hell is going on. help me!

 

headgasket or radiator cap

 

they are both new

 

check to see if you put the thermostat in backwards

 

umm will it even fit if its not in there right? i put it in exactly how the old one came out.

 

yeah, it will go in either way. i would try checking. its only a clamp and 2 bolts(sorry if im wrong). look on the back of the box that it came in to see which way it goes in. it doesnt hurt trying.

 

any other possibilities?

 

i have no idea...it cant be the headgasket(youy would be blowing smoke) it cant be the cap(coolant would be coming out from there) and its not the theremostant(you put it in right*hopefully*)....i would just try flushing it and getting all the air out

 

Money says you have a huge air pocket in your cooling system and your just fighting to get it out.

 

ya burp the system.. test again. if problem still persists do a compression check.
