So recently my Corksport radiator sprung a huge leak leaving the car undrivable. being in the middle of no where its hard to get radiator work done and not wanting to buy a whole new expensive radiator i got an OEM style ebay 80$ radiator. Figured whatever, ill get the corksport fixed when i can and atleast i can still drive.
So on to my problem, installed the new radiator, hooked it up to the after market (weapon r ) overflow rez. that i've had on the car for awhile without issue. fill her up take a run, car over heats. blowing alll sorts of steam from the overflow but...not leaking water elsewhere. checked and tighten my rad. lines and turbo coolant line etc. still no good. replaced thermostate and gaskets associated with it. still over heating. tried two seperate caps as well. got slim line fans, checked to confirm they are indeed running. craziness!!! I was thinking maybe the worst....head gasket...(boom05)OMG!! but checked oil and its not milky or strange looking.
Any ideas?
