im having an overheating issue that i cant seem to figure out, o far ive changed the thermostat 1 week ago, radiator, 6 months ago, water pump about a year ago and its not wasting any water or no oil in water so i know its not the head gasket, it does blow smoke but from piston rings, there is one thing i have to say and its that there is a bunch of rust in the water, i am going to flush it and the engine, but any thoughts of what the problem might be if its not the rust?

What motor? Ill assume its a ka


Jack the car as high as you can, take off the rad cap and start your engine. Let it warm up then keep filling the radiator with coolant. Let it burp itself. Do this for 30 mins and you should be ok.
