AdamK New Guy A Joined: Jul 2010 Posts: 5 England	Hi i recently replaced the head gasket and have fitted a bigger radiator. Fitted a 180 deg thermostat but after the 2-3 mile run the water comes out of the overflow tube and the motors really hot. I know the water pumps working Ok. Any one got any ideas?
