Gauge bounces. Will go up to a certain point around the m or a on normal, hold for a few seconds then go back down and repeat.
Replaced head gasket and intake gasket due to cracked head. Temp gauge did this before head failure. Temp sensor replaced.
Tried bleeding air from coolant by sitting on an incline, taking top off rad, plugging hose to reservoir, and running engine. Bubbles come out. Coolant level dips and rises about an inch or so.
Tried to bleed for about 15-20 mins. When shutting off engine coolant speed out of rad, so I put cap on while still running the shut off. Drove vehicle about 50 or so miles on highway. Heat not, then started to cool down to warm, then cold and my gauge started rising too high. CheckChecmed reservoir temp and coolant was cold. So my rad is likely not sucking in coolant.
I know the nipple tube thing at the reservoir is loose and leaks. Could this be my issue? Sucking in air?
