Question

Visitor, 2.2L 4 Cylinder, Concord, NC, March 18, 2011, 17:23

I have changed the thermostat both fans work as they should come on and go off. but after a few miles it starts to get hot. There are no hear gasket probles or cracks in the head. can this be i timing issue? oh we did bleed the system 3 different times. the bleeder is just above the theromstat. the car has 285000 miles can this be a water pump wearing out?

Thank you

    How are you certain it is not a head gasket issue? If it's heating up right this second, you could blow the head gasket right now.

    Sure, it can be a water pump issue, but less likely than other more obvious concerns. Check for a radiator flow issue as well.

    Changed the pump and timing belt as it was a used car...... got it very very cheap. sat for 8 months was a repo. Radiator seems to be good nice and clean inside and out. I dont have any water in any of the cyclinders or in the oil. So my question is how can this be the head gasket? I just dont know.
    Thanks
