I just replaced my headgasket, and after getting everything back together, I'm having a few wierd problems -
a) The coolant seems to not be "circulating", i.e. when I look @ it with the radiator cap off it's not flowing, just kinda sitting there. I took it for a 20 minute drive and it didnt overheat, but when I stopped back at the house the fans didn't come on (temp was straight up, a little past normal operating, the fans should have went on) and the coolant was boiling - I'd also lost a great deal (half a coolant plastic container's worth), which I think might have evaporated? Any ideas what could be causing this?
Luckily I'm pretty sure it's not the HG again, as theres no smoke at all/doesn't overheat when driving/no other symptoms...
Help! Trying to get the car back to my house today and if I don't figure this out it's not gonna happen
