Rang engine builders , told him everything and he reckons to check if vent system within rocker cover blocked? Check rad? Run car without thermostat see if get hot? He also thinks mayo under cap is from the steam hitting off oil causing it cause no mayo in sump, and he also reckons that rings...

Its puffing quite a lot from crankcase which most likely indicates rings(which I replaced with new ones) will get onto engineering shop and see what they advise tommorow

Few things from today : Radiator not blocked Coolant was clean with no oil contaminants Re bled coolant system and bled perfect within 5 -10 mins with hot air blowing through vents Steam was also coming through vents as before but I think its sucking air from rocker cover breather which is...

I bought a port & polished head off lad who I bought engine off and engineering shop said they reckon it was skimmed too so I don't know to be honest

They built the whole engine I just put it in, OK I'll leave it to them so

Head will have to come off to go back to them as there just a machine shop

I will be monday

If I take head off I'll try

Nope I don't know the compression ratio

I think my temp switch is faulty but surely that wouldn't cause the steam within engine? I'm gunna go one by one through your list tommorow and post the results

could a failed temp sensor cause the steam out engine though? because i uprated compression could head have lifted even though standard bolts torqued to standard settings? will check all of the above tommorow

No Bubbles when brim rad(needle just off cold) , also few other things spotted steam/smoke coming into cab when driving, black water dripping from exhaust and spitting water

Block was skimmed also with brand new head gasket

Fixed problem, main engine relay was corroded

Hi, got my engine rebuilt by engineering shop , cg13 with cg10 pistons, high lift cams etc.. Put it in and after and hour of driving temp shot up and steam puffing out oil cap, dip stick and rocker cover vents, should the head been torqued more than factory settings ? Has my head lifted? Mayo...

so my fuel pump and no spark problems should have nothing to do with nats?
