hey guys so this jeep has been quite the lemon with me but ive finally gotten everything worked out on it. except now this strange cooling issue has came up.
to start off i have basically rebuilt the entire motor. i had a lifter collapse and in turn wore a lobe off of the cam. so i tore the entire motor down and replaced the cam and all lifters and replaced the head gasket and valve seals wile i had everything off.
now the jeep is back together and running great except that it will now over heat. my heater core was stopped up so i bypassed it wile everything was apart. other then that nothing has changed with the cooling system.
what i have done so far is flush and clean the cooling system and have removed the thermostat. now the jeep runs at a good temp but every time i cut the jeep off it will spew coolant out of the radiator cap. i drove it today and the gauge only got to 215 and when i cut it of it still spews out of the cap. its like the system is just building to much pressure and i canat seem to figure out why. i have bled and burped the system many times so i dont really think there is any air in the system.
sorry for the long post but this think is driving me crazy.
