Hello everyone hope you can assist with a continuing saga I'm having with my LC.
I bought a kzj 73 last year and have had continual overheating issues with sustained periods of uphill or speeds over 70. I noticed mainly it was happening at over 3k rpm. Temperature would suddenly rise, and coolant would leak out the expansion tank.
Having changed the thermostat and cleaning and reverse flushing the rad I moved onto the head.
I've just taken it apart and was surprised to see the head looks pretty new.
The old owner has been a dead loss with anything and obviously just wanted this problem off their hands.
I wonder if any of your experienced guys could offer any guidance or suggestions? Water in the turbo or something?
I'm yet to check the head for warping as I have no straight rule here.
Here's some photos. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
