Re: Overheating
i've heard ka motors will over-heat if you have any air at all in the system. i see you said you've already bled it but thats the only thing i can think of. your fan is turning on right?

When a Suburban came in my shop that I used to work at, The fan clutch was seized and would stop and stay on and we replaced it...and never had the problem again, so I was implying maybe its not always as stuck he may think, it could be releasing time to time....
