For ages now I've been having a problem with too much pressure building up in the cooling system. I've changed the head gasket twice, had the cylinders compression checked, changed most of the hoses, had the radiator professionally cleaned but the problem persists. What's more, the coolant sometimes "disappears" and then reappears. Just a while ago I checked it and it was bellow min. So I went and get some water + coolant, opened the expansion bottle and it's back to normal! I know i'm losing coolant through the shorter HVC pipe (crappy brand, not genuine Ford) and I'm getting small rubber debris in the expansion bottle, so it seems the pipe is going to the dogs. That does not explain the excessive pressure though. The mechanic told the head was fine... and the car pulls great and doesn't overheat...
Could the block be shagged?
