overheating Eng, top hose from radiator is hard with presure.

Possible radiator as well. Look into the the cost of a new one or having yours cored out. Weigh the cost of both and time to get the rad out and cleaned and remounted (aka downtime). Rockauto is a good place for price but takes a while to get them.

kruzin ....where did that answer come from?? wow.....interesting solution! At least you can spell.

Have a 88 Dodge Shelby Lancer that had cooling issues. Dropped the rad. out of engine and got it cored out. The shop said it leaked like a sieve, meaning damn thing was way on it's way out. Replaced with new one and no further issues and dumped in royal Purple cooling temp. reducer. I alwayas read my posts before submitting them.
