Heip with over heating problem
So i got my '87 non turbo about a month ago and have been trying to fix its over heating problem. (i have had no time between work and school to do too much) So i have replaced the thermostat and flushed the radiator. nether worked. so do you rhink it is a water pump problem? and how can i tell if it is?
Thanks
Thanks

i'd guess its either the water pump(leaking at the weep hole) or ur coolant seals are gone...u can check the coolant seals by opening up ur rad cap while cranking ur engine..if bubbles come out...be prepared to do a rebuild....

I am not sure what you are looking for so i just took a couple pics.
and it does not matter what i am doing, it always over heats. the needle just climbs without stoping.

Did you remove the fan shroud? Significant reduction in radiator cooling with it off. That may well be your whole problem. Also, it appears that the lower shield is gone. Hard to tell if we are seeing a dirty cement floor or a dirty pan. If both shroud and pan gone no reason for it not to over heat.
