What could cause Coolent to boil out from Over Flow Tank
I know my cooling fan is not working.
Since I hardly do not drive long enough to really worry about
My run is 7Km 10 min of drive.
However I do hear Coolent* boiling and often comes out from Overflow tank.
*replace by distlied water.
My Temp never goves over 210 Usally hoover around 190-200.
I often have to refill with more fluid.
I do have a 160 T-Stat!
Now for raditator fans; I need to find in line fuse where that is and tested.
I have not got a chance yet to look at it

Sounds like your radiator is not pressurized. Could be a bad cap. If the system is not pressurized, the coolant will boil at a lower temperature--even more so if you are using just water. I'd replace the cap as a start. Make sure you get the correct cap.JMHO
Cause today I have notice Rubber in middle have some Cracks!
Now Do I need to get GM
or Standard one which can bought out at local store
It doesn't need to be a GM unit. Go to Canadian Tire, and tell them you need a rad cap for an LT1. They'll have "motomaster" brand ones there. I think it's an 18lb cap.
If it still boils over, you may need to purge the air out of the cooling system. Your fans should be coming on to cool the rad once temperature reaches about 1/2 way.

However I have some thing funny with RAD FANS so it wont turn on.
However I will hit CT get a CAP; Stock one is I8 PSI.
Ok I found the problems
Rad cap need it a replacement
Back when I converted my Water Pump to Miezer I didn't tighten Passenger side of the bolts. I guess it was pretty much glued by Gasket sealer
I got 5 bolts out~
Now if I recall my memory on Driver Side Last bolt is behind the Air Pump Bracket
Right ?
I took the Air Pump; I am calling Quits for the night
My question How many bolts and what size is holding the AirPump!
BTW I think Fans are good some thing to do electrical connection.
I just need to figure out wiring and inline fuse!

So what Size of the Bolts and how many bolts are holding the AirPump Bracket.
I already un did the AirPump.
I just need to take last Bolt off from Water Pump. I think that is behind the AirPump Bracket!
Thanks

Change the Water Pump and have mix feeling for going back to Stock Pump O well.
Out Airpump and hoses blah blah back on
When I was closing Raditator Drain Plug, Water was still seeping through
So I really TIGHT the Plug UP, and Try to fill up with Coolent, Rad Drain plug
is still leaking (slow Streem)
I took the plug out look at it. Looks ok
So does plug need some sort of tyflon tape ?
Do I need to replace it ?
Plug looks like black plastic with thread nothing more

I messed with trying to get my plug to stop leaking for hours then i realized it was coming from a leak above and running down the radiator and dripping off the drain. Was so hard to tell that it was. maybe this is your prob. Look really good at your hose connections about the drain.
hmmm
I do not have a LEAK! (I hope not and I didn't see it)
I put the finger on Drain Hole it was leaking from there
But you may have a POINT there!
Thanks Man
If Iwere to Buy it How much it would cost me ?
