Over heating enquiry

[jsforest1991]

Latest update.

I did the compression test and these were the results

1 = 275, 2 = 280, 3 = 290, 4 = 300

1 being closest to the front.

I think that is a pass as within 10% of each other.

Going to have a go at fixing the front heater (completely unconnected if I understand) while I think of another test.

I might take the new thermostat out to see if the temperature is maintained.

Thanks

I think you need to take head off I reckon that’s the issue normally the head cracks if you get an overheat issue

Thanks, are you suggesting change the head as it has overheated. Or change the head to fix my particular issue?

Or both?

Both is not normally the head gasket but you might be lucky. The temp gauge on a bongo is generally useless if it moves toward the danger end its generally to late I think there’s a Chinese made head available don’t know how good it is not sure if a ranger head goes straight on someone on here will know
