Just did a head gasket job, Jeep overheating, small amount of smoke coming from the tail pipe...It's white and doesn't smell of antifreeze...


Any ideas or any more information needed?

HALP!

Anything would be appreciated, a good video or thread how to bleed a 4.0 engine's coolant system.

 

Let the motor idle with the rad cap off AND keep the rad full while idling. When the stat opens, coolant/air will "burp" out the rad. Install a new rad cap and check for leaks.

Very important......for several days, motor COLD, remove the rad cap and check coolant level in the rad. It should be full to the top.....add coolant if not. Bottle should be about 1/3 full, motor COLD.

Open type cooling systems, like yours, gradually "burp/bleed" air with each heat/cool cycle. Again, u must check the coolant level in the rad frequently, motor COLD, AND u must have a properly functioning rad cap.
