fourtrac water probs

Forum: 

hi all. new to the site and after some help. my fourtrac is nothing but trouble but i refuse to get rid no matter wot her in doors say's. it all started when the rad split, it was welded and was fine untill it happend again 6 weeks ago. after finding that they are like rocking horse sh1t and would put a hole in the wallet, i took a rad out of a pajero (same size) and with some ajustment with the pipes sloted it in. it was running better than ever, untill, a hose bust. now i have fixed that and she starts but i have water pissing out of where the fan rod goes in???(pump maybe?) when i fitted the paj rad in i was going to take the thermostat out but it was already gone? it obvously has a problem! shall i keep or scrap? thanks for your help all, as any advice would be great. joe

Sounds like the water system

Sounds like the water system is getting over pressurised. The only thing that springs to mind to cause this is a blown head gasket, alowing the engine to 'breath' into the water system.

No man. It's not a big job

No man. It's not a big job (if that is the problem). About half a days work, and not pricey on bits either.
