aristo overheating

[avinesh]

Teekay testers have there place.

Do a cylinder leakage test if suspect blown head gasket.

have done a cylinder leak test and results are good on all cylinders, biggest thing is car used to overheat soo easily before if you thrash it for a while and now till this day it hasnt done it again soo all is good so far (touch wood), and biggest thing is it hasnt lost any coolant in about 2 days of hard driving to be honest it never lost coolant just used to overheat without loosing coolant.

The way to test it is to hook up a pressure gauge to your cooling system , go for a thrash and watch the reading. It should never exceed the cap pressure and shouldn't spike when you jump on the gas. Pressure should rise slowly from cold.
Changing parts by guesswork is only for car mechanics. Technicians test everything first.
Teekay tests are useless, they don't work. They're yet another modern day scam used on un suspecting customers to make mechanics look as though they know what they're doing.
Likewise giving references to shitter V8s from US of A that don't have turbos, nor aluminium heads and only make 1/2 HP per cu in.

ill try do this test as soon as i get the equipment from a mate who runs a workshop, what im really happy about is it hasnt overheated in 2 days now of hard driving and it used to overheat in less then a minuted before if you drive it hard, the radiator was clogged up i guess or else it wouldnt have made such a massive difference......i havent lost any coolant as well does it look good to you soo far?
