Back to the beginning.
One again I am having over heating issues. Symptoms are not only confusing but rather bazar and have had a lot of different input but so far everyone seems to have a different opinion's.
First off I had the radiator Rodded a month ago and had a small leak and so i put Bar's stop leak into. I have called a total of 4 shops today and all have laughed saying bar's wont clog the radiator. About a week ago now I hear something breaking or being thrown around the motor bay after I started it up. I looked under a hood for a socket or something i may have left inside but unfortunately there was nothing to be found. Since then i have been noticing the increase in temperature's and now it is to the point that the car will over heat after about a minute of run time. This weekend I changed the Thermostat, all the hoses, and the temp. sending unit along with its wiring harness. Filled the car up with coolant Burped the system and took a test drive. Sure enough i get down the street and its hot. Both a close fellow mustang friend and a shop say it is my radiator clogging up and 3 shops i called say its the water pump not boosting the full water. My mustang buddy says he saw water flowing in the radiator and i too have seen it untill today. I let the car heat up, even let it run for 5 minutes (was defiantly hot) and watched no water being moved. Lastly I have an electric Autoloc 16" fan that pulls 3500 CFM been running it for a year now and it has done great. Its still working and working stronger since i put new wiring in.
As of right now i see no leaks and my pulley's are tight. One shop said to look for bubbles for a blown head gasket but it was all water. I understand this was kinda confusing so feel free to ask me questions but i am dumbfound and little irritated. Appreciate any advice Thanks!
