'87 Chevy Nova overheating - CarForums.net

imported_someforeignchick · 07-02-2004, 01:23 AM

my nova is continually overheating, i have changed the thermostat, filters all that stuff. the other day my radiator started leaking and i put some of that quick sealing stuff in it until i can get it fixed, and the temp gage dropped to about halfway, for teh first time since i 've owned the car. today i could barely drive one mile from my house for fear of my engine exploding from high temp.
any ideas on what the problem might be? &nbsp;

Overheating Nova - &nbsp;Check: fan belt, &nbsp;Ignition timing, pressure cap, plugged radiator, &nbsp; Hoses for collapsing, &nbsp; stuff in front of radiator, &nbsp;slow leak in system, &nbsp;water pump blades gone, &nbsp;internal damage to water pump housing. Good luck
