[C38] Heating problems (alden Andre)

[alden Andre]

It does not matter if you have a surge tank(most cars do). You can rule
out the head gasket by checking your oil . most times the water will get
in the oil when there is a head gasket leak. I would start with your
belt driven pump. Take the belt off see if the shaft is loose and turn
it and see if  it is grinding. The most common problem with them is
having a belt to tight that wears out the bearings. There is another
burbing procedure that is different than what has been said(on this
listserve) in the C-30 manual with water heaters installed. I will get
it today when I am at my two boats and post it for you. If you email me
I can send it directly to you.

Our boat has the surge tank add-on.

The head gasket idea is troubling, because if I had to describe what's
happening, I'd say that it seems like air is getting sucked into the
system.

None the less, I'll go through the fill burp procedure later today, and
if
that doesn't fix it, I'll tear apart the coolant pump and see if that
turns anything up.

Thanks!
