Pull off the passenger fender !??! /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
[/ QUOTE ] So I can sit on the tire and pull the head. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif Easier than leaning over the radiator support upside down trying to do it. My K5 is pretty tall and I have a 3" body so the motor is that much deeper in the bay.

Try out some dual electric fans. My truck stayed at 180 degrees on the sand dunes when it was in the 90s with just a single fan from an old cavalier. I now have a 388 bored over .060 on a small block and that fan keeps it cool. I also had over heating problems, turns out it was just air trapped because the engine was freshly rebuilt.

Well that wouild probably work, but he already mentioned he has coolant leaking out from that side, this condition will only get worse, he kinda needs to pull the head anyways to fix that, but definately i do agree with the right type of electric fans, they can do a good job. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

Might as well pull both heads while you are at it. Just to be safe. Not that much more work.

Exactly, the headgasket is the culprit. I think I have plenty of cooling power and I may mount a small pusher fan in front of the condensor to help out my A/C and blow a little more air through but I would put money on that once the head gasket is replaced I won't have any more overheating probs. /forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gif
