    over heating w/ head gasket done less thank a year ago

    So today i ran my cb for a 5 mile drive and it was over heating like crazy at least thats what the gauge was saying but i saw no smoke anywhere..also i just go all the gaskets replaced including the head gasket,new radiator ,thermostat, timing belt but unfortunately no water pump replacement was done( <i know so dumb ) also iv'e noticed a small amount of oil leakage so when i looked under the car when it was raised i saw oil all over starting from the head down ...i also think my valve cover is soaking up some oil too since i looks shiny more or more like a wet look ... so these are my conclusions..
    1. bad head gasket or improper installation( also because I'm unsure if the head bolts were replaced or reused even though the mechanic said he got new ones with the new head )
    2. Bad Temperature sensor ( was not replaced when other major engine work was done )
    3. Bad water pump

    so tell me what you think i maybe ..remember it's not smoking.. i remember i had smoke when the head warped on me so i don't think it's that even though it's kinda leaking small amounts of oil

    Well the oil might be a warped head this happened to me after i overheated. I think you have a bad thermostat mine lasted 5 months.

        so first thing, you cant assume the head gasket yet. You said its oily on the valve cover so it COULD of trickled down. So clean your motor.

        Second, when it overheats open the engine bay and CHECK AND FEEL the lower and upper hose. If the top one is hotter than the bottom then you have a thermostat issue.

        I believe you can check water pump impeller flow by taking off the top hose and seeing if you got flow on start up. I think you can see it to with the radiator cap off but not as evident if the radiator is full.

        You can also have air.
        What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.

        You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!
