Hi,

i have a couple problems with my 4runner after the head gasket was done by a mechanic.

1) the heat stops coming out of the vents when i'm stopped.
2) the resevior is full... but the radiator is not.

i thought it was the fan, but that seems to be working just fine,

any help would be greatly appreciated


cheers

 

Is it overheating? Maybe time for a thermostat....

 

it overheats a little bit at idle. then it cools down when i start revving the engine again

 

sounds like there may have been a hose left off somewhere or something. If everything was hooked up and sealed properly there should be enough suction in the coolent system for it to syphon the coolent from the resivour to the radiator. Another possibility is there are some air pockets in the system that is not allowing it to be fully bled.
