Default my monte is back in the shop do to over heating again

yep i am sad because it is back in the shop do to over heating again. it has new thermostat new head gaskets new heads new water pump new belt. new ac parts new every thing. i cant enjoy having it with out expecting it going to the shop for some thing major. i am totally upset and knowing i cant drive it with out paranoia that it might go back to the shop to get fixed on the engine. i am upset because it is a good looking body when it runs good even if it is for a week it runs like a dream before it dies.

Hey Monte,

I am really sad to read that your cant enjoy your MC. Seems like you put a lot of work into the car. Could it be that something is not installed properly? Maybe the coolant needs to be flushed. Do they have to do pressure tests make sure the coolant is running smoothly through the rad and in the cooler lines? Man, I'm a newbie when it comes to cars but I hope you get your problem solved as quickly as possibly without getting nailed financially.

Take it ez bro

it ended up being the water pump again that did it as well as the left bank head gasket. that went the water pump went and heated up the egine and found a fault in the new gasket for the left bank. wich means the head that is facing the radiator the gasket wasent up to snuff when the water pump failed.

I was gonna guess your fans werent kicking in, but after reading this WOW. So the water pump damaged your gasket too eh. Was the new water pump faulty or did you install something incorrectly? Did the guys in the shop fix your problem monte?
