Good pm guys. First time ko to come across this thread and really glad to have read your inputs. Very informative and surely marami akong matututuhan. Hope to be able to contibute also in the future.

I have a 1990 B22 with a Mazda RF engine. Napapansin ko na water from my radiator is always going to the reservoir and vent resulting to water loss in the radiator. I tried replacing the cylinder head gasket pero ganun pa din. On the average, i have to refill the radiator every 2 days by around 3/4 ~ 1 liter.

Do you have any idea kung saan and how much ang power sttering mechanism? Mine is pawis steering pa rin kasi. Thanks on your replies.

Greetings marami na naman akong sasagutin.

Dear AR-MOJ - sir, apat (4) ang screws ng tail light, on top 2 - on the side and at the rear, bottom also 2 - on the side and at the rear.

When dismantling, use the correct screwdriver size (philips no. 1 or 2) para fit na fit sa tornilo or else, baka madulas. Also turn them slowly and (very important !!!) EVENLY.

What do I mean? If you turn the 1st screw on top rear half a turn (for example) turn all the other screws by the same amount also. Remember these words, SLOWLY and CAREFULLY.

Baket?! Well there is a foam rubber gasket immediately behind the plastic of tail light lens, and it exerts strong pressure on the plastic (to seal it) which is usually OLD and BRITTLE, so kung binigla mo yung pag-kalas, malamang bibiyak sya. YES! IT WILL CRACK if you are NOT CAREFUL.

Its not cool to repair something you broke yourself. Isa pa, napakahirap na ng piyesang ganyan hanapin.

After taking it apart you must disconnect the wiring harness, its usually stuck, and covered in a layer of black dirt. Wash with warm soapy water so you can see what you're doing.

You can replace the bulbs and clean the housing after. Good Luck.

Sa inaasam mong bumper, wala pa akong nakikitang surplus. Pero kaya ng magaling na latero at pintor ayusin yan. Pa body-color mo na lang.

Fiberglass bed cover? Hmmm... meron akong kilala marunong gumawa ng fiberglass repairs, but di ko alam kung gumagawa sya ng ganun. Will ask him. Stand by.

Hindi ko alam kung ano yung 20s... pls elaborate.

Dear ADB - Try having it done sa DELTA Motors sa ilalim ng DELTA theater. Look for James, he's the supervisor there, ok sya.

Pls look back at my old posts. Nanduon ang number and address nya.

Dear fca521 - Welcome to our thread.

That's a serious problem you have. It should be checked (and fixed) immediately.

Actually if the water flows OUT of the radiator INTO the reservoir it is very likely you have a weak RADIATOR CAP SPRING.

Try replacing it with a new one with higher pressure rating. Not just 0.9 kg but maybe 1.1 kg.

You see as the engine gets hot some of the cooling water boils into steam. The steam pressurizes the system and keeps the rest of the water from boiling.

By raising the pressure we also raise the boiling point of the water, so the higher temperature promotes greater heat exchange.

If the cap is new and it's still doing that (without leaks from the cylinder head gasket or the exhaust system) then you have a serious overheating problem.

The engine will have to be taken down and checked.

You can try to clean it out with the procedure I mentioned before. But a 6 liter bottle of Absolute drinking water (NOT refilled pls) then drain a little water from your radiator (mga 1 liter at a time) every week.

Always refill with the Absolute. Never use tap water. It will eventually clog and block your radiator.

Tell us what happened. Good Luck!!!

Sir duskylim, ty for your reply and inputs. Actually nag-insert ako ng thin rubber sheet (around 1 mm) as spacer between radiator opening and cap para tumaas ng konti ang spring tension ng 0.9 radiator cap ko. Medyo nabawasan ang lumalabas na water (pero not fully) although pwede na rin pagtiyagaan. Observe ko pa baka kasi pag sobra taas naman ng pressure eh bumigay naman ang mga hoses, etc. By the way, even before, i observed na pag binuksan ko yung cap, kahit malamig na ang engine, eh malakas pa rin ang air pressure (feel at dinig mo ang air release (pop) pag-open mo ng cap). Is it normal or ok lang? Hoping na radiator cap nga lang diperensya kasi if not, baka may crack na daw cylinder head ko. Tnx and ill keep you posted on developments.

Sirs/Madams, i noticed another similar thread, Mazda B-2200 Pick-up Discussions, present. Bakit hindi na lang kaya i-merge yung dalawang threads. Ang kasabihan - the more...the manyer, hehe.

**ar_moj** · May 6th, 2009 11:52 PM

thanks Duskylim sa reply..cguro hanap nalang aq ng latero.. ung 20s is 20 inches na rims..balak ko kasi gawin mga nakasetup na SUV look ung sakin..

and guys..i know mahirap maghanap ng piyesa ngaun ng b2200 but i was asking around sa evangelista..i saw two shops selling park lights..400+ price nila pero baka matawaran dn..hindi pa kasi aq bumibili..

Dear fca521:

Sir, if everytime you open you radiator cap, there is air and not just water, then you definitely have a problem.

The air is coming from someplace and if its from the engine, bukasan na ang usapan.

Also if the air can force the radiator's water out (as it is under cap pressure) even if the engine is cold then you most likely have a leaky cylinder head gasket.

When you replaced the old gasket did they check the block and cylinder head for squareness?

This is done by placing a precision rule across each diagonal axis. If either block or head is distorted there will be a gap at the center or (more rarely) at the edges.

Best of luck.
