sorting either a new head or a head rebuild. is there a specific cause to this cracking in the head, or is it just a casting fault? would be nice to avoid it happening again!!!!

About bleeding air locks, this aplies to DSE's?
How do you do it?
And the sniff test, how can i do it?
I have just done a trip about 750miles (average speed 65miles/h) and i suspect the car is overpressuring (temp gauge at midle, everything looks fine), at the end of the trip when i removed the cap from expansion tank the water looks like is boiling (engine running)...
(the engine had a major repair about 2months ago)....
Any clues?
Many thanks
Joao
Update
Sick and tired of having an overheating problem.
Towed the boat back from a fishing trip and plastic top of radiator cracked once again. Limped home, 10 litres of water every 20kms.
So, I bit the bullet, thought this is my last spend.
(British parts - not britpart).
Ordered:-
1. Genuine Radiator
2. Genuine expansion tank
3. Genuine viscous fan
4. Genuine radiator cowling
5. Copy, condensor.
Put it all together and no more overheating!!!!
Work that out?
Remember, I had changed everything, the only difference this time is original equipment.
I am a happy fella now.
No overheating.
For extra security, add a thermostat to bring on the aircon condensor fans when the car is working hard.
Hello,
When i swaped my old engine for a bmw 525tds, the mechanic made some holes in the thermostat....
Noticed then that engine temp barely goes above the blue zone..
I wonder if this is a reliable solution....
(owner manual states that normal engine temp neddle at the gauge stays at midle)
