e30 s50 swap over heating

Build rule #5) Don't discount stuff because it's new.

Was the head tested / machined when you did the hg?

Is the radiator new? or has it been tested? Do you have rust in the system?

[Wanganstyle]

Did you replace the head fastener bolts with new?

[Jean]

I just got the head redone, and also installed a new fan clutch, thermostat, and water pump. It's still getting super hot. Any ideas what it could be?

Was the head tested, who did the machine work?

Was it overheated before is that why you did the headgasket?

yeah found out my fan clutch ever turns on ether so imgoing to but a electric fan and see if that works. i had it at the shop before they resurfaced

my s50 started overheating for little bitt, because my ground straps were loose, tightened them and perfectly middle with the e30 fan..

do you have heat inside the car? I hooked up the heater core hoses wrong on my m50e30 and randomly over heated... the one on the back of the head should go to the inlet of the core which has the heater control valve inline...

car is running great with a e fan and ever time i turn on the heater my temp alway seem to move up and get hotter

Mine turned out to be the same issue, loose engine ground.

i just took it to a shop and they said it could be the water pump but its new or the thermostat but its new i bought it from them. they said im not getting go flow because the top hose is hot but the bottom is cold even when at running temp so what could it be

Did you ever get the flow of the system fixed? I’m sure doing the E-fan would allow it to run cooler but if you’re not getting proper flow I can only assume that there will be issues.
