What are the causes of high temperature after an engine overhaul?
1 Answers
Engine high temperature after an overhaul can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Component failure: Malfunction of engine cooling system components (such as the thermostat, water pump, and fan clutch) can lead to excessive water temperature. These parts should be inspected and replaced accordingly. 2. Low idle speed with AC: If the idle speed is too low when the AC is on, it can cause high water temperature. The functionality of the AC idle speed booster should be checked. 3. Damaged water temperature sensor: A water temperature sensor damaged during maintenance should be inspected. 4. Cylinder head or gasket failure: An uneven cylinder head surface or a blown head gasket can result in high water temperature.
