So i am getting to the end of my build. Well im hoping......
So i have pieced the cooling system all together, custom alloy expansion tank, feeding into the rear crossover pipe, z3m radiator, 80 degree thermostat, everything was new when i put the motor back together.
Motor is a m60b40.
Have filled coolant from tank and once thermostat opens blows water out like a whales blow hole.
Tried filling from the top radiator hose and blowing onto the top hose to try and remove air....still does is.
Checked thermostat vent is at top put all back together, filled through reservoir, blew through feed tube from radiator to resesrvoir still a lot of pressure.
Is only when thermostat is open?
Anyone had experience with m60 cooling systems? i dont want to think the worst of it being a headgasket, there doesnt seem to be any mixing of oil & water but im also no mechanic....
if anyone could shed some light would be a massive help, is one of the last hurdles before i can start test driving
It has been suggested to me to check the system with the thermostat removed to eliminate the fact it may be anything else in the rear of the motor??
