TIme old G60 head gasket questions

Hi there

 

I have beening fighting the aged old battle of high g60 running temps, however mine were normal then got really hot/warmed up much faster than liked in the oil dep over a period of afew days, normal oil temp is about 112 when thrashing it. but i was gettting temps of 120 just crusing at 70.

 

So I sctrached my head flicked through service history and came to the conclution that the charger was due a rebuild, change a few cooling system bits while the charger was at g-werks.

 

Water temp was always up at 110 (might seem shocking but with a diff sensor the gauge never moved but hoses always felt about right) but its now at a nice 90ish mark

 

But oil on the other hand is still high, its fine when on flat or down hill but was drivning to woolacombe last night and the oil temps up the hills were close to 130, im still running the charager in but basicly this is the oild problem still.

 

I havent ever checked this before so cant say if its changed but how much do these babies breathe out of the rocker cover? say when the oil cap is off how much do the puff out? not got any smoke but can feel the gases about a foot about it, from other vehicles this should be none.

 

Im thinking the head gasket is blowing into the crank case thus increasing oil temps and causeing the breathing out the rocker box.

 

Any thoughts, hints or advice would be greatly accepted before I go spending more money on wild geese but I cna think what else it could be, oh yeah engine mileage is about 70 thousand, was rebuild in the cars history but no milage shown just a date.

 

Cheers for making it through my rambling

Someone else will have to help you re the gasket, but the temps don't sound massive for a G60- they are often that high. An oil cooler is a great mod and brings them down significantly, pretty cheap too. G-werks can get you a Mocal.

Cheers for the reply

 

Its not how high the temperatures are that is my problem its the sudden rise of about 20 degrees normal operating temp
