i think the overheating thing would deffinetaly be a good idea......just had to say this because i wanted to hit my 1000 post while i was here........but it would be good

 

you should put some info about swapping on a magnum head from an 01 RT in the performance section.

 

There is a how-to forum on here already, but you have to PM Amanda to get it posted I think. Right now there aren't any in there for neons, so maybe we should start getting some over there, and then I can post a sticky about it and link to the threads. What do y'all think?

 

it would be nice to have it, just as the recent added ones you've done, a lot of that probably has already answered questions that people are affraid to ask because of the repetiveness of the topic coming on after doing a search

 

OK, on the overheating issue, let's get some ideas. Possible problems are:

*Low coolant
*Defective radiator cap
*Clogged radiator
*Bad Coolant Temperature Sensor (CTS)
*Bad thermostat
*Radiator fans not working properly
*Headgasket leaking

Anything else?

I will also note that coolant should be mixed 50/50 with DI water and NOT TAP WATER. Tap water will boil off and leave deposits in your radiator, that can lead to corrosion and/or clogging of the radiator.

 

rad fins can debond from the core tubes (was that spud?). glad to see you up front, you know a heck of a lot more than i do about this car. happy motoring.

 

yeah the fins come loose and fall out over time....usually around 100,000 miles....i put a new radiator in my car about 3 weeks ago and so far hasnt overheated one bit.....i now have to replace the radiator in the wifes car because hers is doin the same thing now...

 

mtx to atx TB swap?

 

I added that in there a little while ago.

 

Maybe you can post some recommended websites to buy parts for the Neon
