baka may malutong na na hose, matigas na upper radiator hose, napakalambot na lower radiator hose, maluwag na clamp, or tumatagas na freeze plug.....baka lang

makikita mo naman yung traces ng coolant.

pinalitan nga ba o tinanggal yung thermostat?

Sir yung upper at lower hose maganda pa nman ang pagka-rubber. not so sure sa mga clamps at clips nya kse ilang beses na inalis yung radiator, pero lagi ko rin check wala nman tagas or traces ng coolant.

yes sir bago palit yung thermostat.

dapat ung dating sukat ng radiator cap mo .ganun din ung sukat ng radiator copper top na nilagay sayo.tingnan mo mabuti.kung iba ang sukat ng radiator cap mo ngayon kaysa sa dati.na experience ko na yan.may sukat din kasi ang pressure ng radiator.depende sa sasakyan mo.pero malamang yang sayo iba na ung rad cap mo.

yun din sir isang suspect ko e, yung pinalit na radiator cap. baka iba yung taas nya kesa sa cap na binili ko. hindi masyado sagad or pagka-fit. 2 times na ako palit ng circuit brand 0.9 walang effect.

ngayon pinalitan ko ng fed.mogul 1.1, try ko takbo around metro pero wala masyadong long run kse traffic, pagbalik ko sa bahay parang ok, hindi nadagdagan yung reservoir tank at me tubig na uli sa radiator. bukas long drive ako from manila to cavite, sana same result..

Then do wet testing by squirting motor oil sa spark plug sockets. Kung gumanda ang reading (tumaas substantially), you have worn out piston rings. Need to do overhaul.

Kung mababa pa din reading after wet testing, you have sirang valve seals. Top overhaul.

Kung dalawang magkatabing cylinder magkaparehong mababa, you have warped cylinder head and/or head gasket. Top overhaul plus head shaving sa machine shop

Doesnt make sense naman na di pwede compression test dahil may leaking radiator....

Kahit walang radiator pwede compression test.

Wala ako marefer sa cavite. Sorry bro.

Replace it.

Engines don't like running cold.

Your car will run without it just fine.

The problem is, it will take much, much, much MUCH longer to warm up.

And while it runs cold, with oil like corn syrup sloshing around inside, it will use much more gas than if you have a working thermostat and a warmed up engine.
