Overheating alarm working and #1 cylinder is in fact way to hot.<br><br>I have had the cylinder heads off several times and all looks good inside the water jacket. The rubber deflectors are as they should be.<br><br>I have taken off head covers and they appear good.<br><br>New head gaskets sealed and torqued per service manual instructions.<br><br>No sign of gasket leaking cylinder pressure into water jacket. Checked heads and block with straight edge.<br><br>Checked water pump housing, impeller, seals, tubing connect o ring, gasket seal under pump. All seems correct.<br><br>Went through thermostat housing replaced thermostat and inspected all components and all seamed as they should be.<br><br><br>Does anyone have idea of what could be the cause? Am I missing something?<br><br>Or is this a inherent problem with this engine?<br> <br>I am at a loss. <img src="images/smilies/confused.png" border="0" alt="" title="Confused" smilieid="10" class="inlineimg"><img src="images/smilies/confused.png" border="0" alt="" title="Confused" smilieid="10" class="inlineimg"><img src="images/smilies/confused.png" border="0" alt="" title="Confused" smilieid="10" class="inlineimg"><br><br><br><br><br><br>
