Ok am with the orhers... I am sorry but the main thing is that if you pull over the instance the engine heats up or light illuminates this would prob not happen. Also it’s a fair time since they did the work.


I seem to be the only one asking this (genuinly) but

1). How do you prov a thermostat caused this. I understand that upon reaching heat the coolant does not circulate via the radiator as the thermostat has failed. I have had thermostats fail in the past but never led to this.

2). The real nail in the coffin to me is this.... your inspector will not be able to prove thermostat failures because the vehicle has overheated and will have meant the thermostat would have been subjected to excess heat. Question to
Inspector is did the thermostat fail or did the heat generated car we it to fail and you can not prove that.

What is wrong with a second hand pressure tested head rebuilt?
