Hi - not been here for a while but, I've got a problem with the cooling on my 3.5V8 110. I had a weep from the top hose so I changed it, and shortly after the pump to pipe (to the heater) went, so I changed that as well. The problem is that the top hose feels as if it is under a lot of pressure, and the header tank was venting tonight. I did notice that the tank is still under pressure when the engine was cold. I've also noticed on a couple of occasions that the engine has run at normal temperature for about 30 minutes, after which it has gone up to just short of the red. I don't want to, but I'm thinking head gasket - there's no sign of water in the oil, or vice versa, but the water in the radiator did seem a bit murky, although it hasn't been changed for a while. Any thoughts? Bob
