Overheating

2 Upvotes

Cruze started overheating intermittently (no shock). Past couple weeks I’ve been driving it’s bounced up to the mid point instead of a notch below where it usually sits, then would go back down, and periodically continue doing that. Today, drove over an hour with no issues until I was about home & it actually started overheating to the point it turned my ac off. I pulled off, didn’t turn the car off yet, and it bounced right back down to the notch below the mid point. Turned the car off for awhile, turned it back on to get home & now every time I drive it’ll bounce around. Sit normal, start overheating, bounce back to normal & start overheating again. I’m getting it checked out tomorrow, just want some ideas as to what it could be before then/things I could check out. I’ve also been hearing a humming sound when it starts to overheat so I’m wondering if it could be the radiator fan going out? Idk. Thanks in advance.

Valve cover gasket

1 Upvotes

I recently replaced my valve cover gasket, and it’s already coming weird in some spots, but I didn’t use any locktite so I know for a fact some of the screws have gone loose.

I’m going to re-do it with a felpro gasket and locktite. Is there a specific kind I need to be using?
