overheating issue!

[mrz28M6]

i cant figure this out! the car overhears after a while of driving. the gauge was pegged yesterday. i changed the water pump,radiator,and tstat. i'm lost now! any ideas on what this could be?? 02 z28 by the way

It may be a long shot, but are your connectors and sensors clean?

air pocket I bet.

[GTSLOW]

Air pockets can be a mofo on the ls1.

[mrz28M6]

my buddy said it could be an air pocket too. how do you get rid of it? lol

[Bobby "Big Daddy" Flay]

It's the same with the LT1's. You have to use the bleeder screws- one is on a small coolant hose and the other one is going to be on the thermostat housing.

Yea, had a huge air pocket when I changed my T-stat, it was pissing me off, but eventually bleed through finally and I got some good flow. Just be patient

It's Gonna Blow! RUN!!!!

fill the system with the bleeders open untill the coolant runs from them shut them,jack the front end up so the radiator is the highest point in the coolant system,turn on the heater and start the car and burp that biatch

And don't drive it around with the temp gauge pegged!!!!

air pocket I bet.

Yea then you'll blow your head gaskets like I just did AGAIN. I never learn the first time around.

[HAMRHEAD]

Is there a way to tell if it is an airpocket without disassembling everything?

[mrz28M6]

all fixed guys, and it wasnt an air pocket. the idiot that previously owned this car had the driver and passenger heater core hoses backwards which plugged the heater core. all better now!
