and if dosnt turn out 2 b the head could doing that cause some probs 2 teh head?

Shouldn't case any probs but I'd check the cap thing 1st as there won't be any pressure in the rad when u try so it will tell if it's a leak.

well when the enige is hot the pipe is very firm, and when cold its easy to sqeeze, that mean much?

the thing i think causing the water in teh over flow 2 drop back to the same place is that im using distide water so it gets hot and evaporate, then its just left with teh coolant as was b4 and stops at the same level, could this b right?

ok top hose when hot should be rock hard and soft when cold that's because the pressure builds when hot and goes when cold that normal..
And u should be using coolant not distilled water..

i didnt have any coolant, so use some distilled, liek just to top up the overflow bottle, would that evaporate thus goign back down?



note: i havnt fixed the oil sensor prob with the guage not moving, just keeping u informed like u askd :p
