| went to go see the misses today and my car overheated.
no hot air out my heater, and when i got home (bout 3hours after it overheated) i took the expantion tank top off and there was still quite a bit of pressure behind it.
gonna flush it out, change the stat and run it up in a min and see what happens.
if it turns out to be the head gasket can anyone give me a hand doing it? not 100% confident at doing it myself | |
