[QUOTE=Mikester;5494167]If steam is coming from the radiator, it could be cracked. Are you losing coolant?
If the steam is coming from under the cap, it could be as simple as the cap needing to be replaced. If steam is coming from under the cap AND coolant is boiling out of the overflow, your thermostat is probably not opening... which would explain why only half (assuming the top half) of the radiator gets hot and you're not seeing any movement of fluid. In order for the water pump to move the coolant enough for you to see it happening, the thermostat needs to be open.
Okay i have tried taking the thermostat out and it only made it take a little longer to overheat there are no blockages in the system the compression is good in all the cylinders. im not leaking anymore after the new water pump gasket even tho the oem pump still worked fine ....smh i have white smoke on start up
