I have an Oliver OC3-31 that runs great, for a while. Normal temperature for 15-20 minutes, then temp shoots up to over 200 and about a half gallon of coolant spits out of the overflow tube. I put in a new thermostat and checked the timing with no success. Can anyone hellp me cool down this hot crawler? Thanks

Fan belt tight?? If its loose by much at all it will cause it to over heat. Thermostat in wrong or new from the box bad?? Or is could be that the cooling system needs flushed out. What I do to flush the system is drain it fill with vinagar and then run it till good and warm then back flush with a garden hose by way of the block drain, you need to make an adaptor to fit there but that not hard to do. Some times it takes a couple of flushes to get the job done because of years of rust and lime build up in them. BTDT on my OC-3 and others

Possibility too old,that the head gasket is blown and causing it to build pressure back in to the cooling system.

I'll do a compression test to check the head gasket. Thanks!
