my mate bought a 98 sti last week with suspected headgasket gone,
so he took the engine out skimmed heads got cometic triple layer head gasket off dave, fitted the gaskets and torqued it up in correct sequence but it back together and still overheating, so changed the rad and still overheating,changed the thermostat still overheating, stripped it all down again to check water pump and the pump seams fine so could there be another reason for overheating ??
is it possible the pump could be knackered and show no visible signs ?
