Well its all opinion based until any tests are done. Once tests are done we can have a better educated understanding of whats going on. Until then its just observational opinions.

Yeah, I agree. I was just saying he can't rule it out yet just because he doesn't see water/oil mixture. I did not know there was a kit to test for exhaust gasses in the coolant. That is really cool.

Having a similar issue on my 91 lx. I just replaced all the coolant lines, radiator, water pump, thermostat, and the fan clutch. But for some reason I can’t figure out is why it’s still over heating. Any of y’all have some tips?

you are posting in an old 94-5 tech forum, go to the fox tech forum and post your issues with details on what you did and when it overheats.
