I have a 90 lx 5.0. Its has some mild bolt ons. I used an timing chain cover off a lincoln town car, which has a standard rotation water pump (I believe),I have the reverse rotation water pump on my car. Any way my problem, is water keeps pissing out of my over flow tank even when the car is first started. All the gaskets are new on the motor, and there is no water in the oil. The overflow tank is after market. Any suggestions, or need any more info? Please Help!!!-before I yank the motor again!

chec

id check the radiator cap like the guy above said ,than check your weep hole in your water pump to make sure its not leaking, which could mean its not keep ur motor cold, which would make the little coolant yuou have flowing get hot, boil, and overflow

Its constantly under pressure even when its cold, and all going to the overflow tank, and the cap is new, as is the 3 core radiator, and electric fan.

block

you might have a cracked block. Check your block near where the dizzy goes in or take off the heads and look for a crack around there. If all of that stuff is new on there and its cooling problem it could be a crack.

so when you first start the car, the radiator is already full (had not receded from when it cooled off the night before)?
