[DeTomaso] Overheating Issue

[Hans Lindbohm]

Assuming you want to know if you have a blown head gasket. Before pulling
the heads, would it make sense to test which cylinder is blowing exhaust
fumes into the cooling system by running the engine and disconnecting the
spark plug caps one by one, running the engine on 7 cylinders to see if that
"cures" the overheating???

Or would a compression test give any leads on where the head gasket is
leaking??.

I just went through this over a period of 3-4 years only to finally discover
(after pulling the heads) that I had a cracked head.

Hey Guys.
A friend is at his wits end with the cooling system on his  Pantera.
Up until a year ago, his car ran cool (160 hwy and 180 city). It then slowly
started to run hotter and hotter ( 230
city).
So he replaced the rad (fluidyne), pump(elelbrock, dual suckers and new
tubes. Things didn"t change. 160 on the hiwaya
nd 230 in the city. He then installed a HD Robershaw 180. Same thing except
it ran 180 hwy and 230 in the city.
He has jacked the back and front up numerous times trying to get any air
out. He's about to pull an "Elvis" and shoot
the thing.
Any suggestions? Asajay, didn't you go through this a while ago?
Will
