P38 4.6 over heating and pressuring
Hi, I am adding this post on behalf of my brother in law he brought a P38 4.6 last year we now the car well and this is the reason he brought it. It had a replacement engine 50,000 miles ago with bills to prove it. Its the later engine i believe it to be the Thore type. Any way he boiled it over and added cold water to the header tank to get him home but the damage had now been done in my eyes.
Since then it has been in to the garage and had the head gaskets replaced but this didnt cure the problem of the car over heating and Pressurising. He was then advised the block may be cracked so on this he had it removed and had new liners installed the heads skimmed. But hay its still over heating and pressurising. He has now replaced the water pump radiator and the stat tried a second set of heads which have also been skimmed but the issue is still the same, can anybody now shed any light on what may be the issue??????? Oh he has also bypassed the LPG system and the heater matrix but its the same somebody has now advised him it could be the inlet manifold??????
Please help him as he is getting some major grief from his better half
