Default Re: Cooling system problem

Just wanted to post an update. I got a new water pump with leakless rear seal. Installed that. Flushed the block and radiator again. Put the radiator back in with the Gano coolant filter in the top hose. No more leaking from the pump. No more overflowing coolant. The temp gauge ranges between 160 and 190 degrees and climbs higher right after shutting down. Does that sound reasonable. The books call for 3 gallons of coolant but I only got about 2 1/2 in before it overflowed. Does that also sound reasonable. I really like the coolant filter. It is clear plastic so I can see that there is coolant into the upper hose. Thanks for all the advice. Howie
