This is the place to ask questions about your engine components like cams, valves, pistons? just anything that is generally "engine" specific.

The 98 Neon im working on, it will get to opp. temp. stay at normal for a good while, then all of a sudden it starts to go up slowly but surely. This is all at idle.

Recently had the head cleaned and pressure checked, new head bolts/gasket, replaced timing belt, idler, tensioner, water pump, and new coolant obviously. (50/50 premixed) Nothing else really that'd effect this.

If everything seems to be in control, you're not going fast enough.

make sure you dont have an air bubble in the system too.
It's not the fall that hurts, it's the sudden stop at the bottom!

Fans work fine.

Didnt check for air pockets yet, i sorta forgot to fill it while the pass side was up. :-x

And i have the new thermostat ready in case the air pockets arent what is doing it.

Just wanted some input, thanks fellas.
