[QUOTE="mmsllc, post: 91328, member: 13117"] Overheating CAN and DOES happen with out warning. BUBVBLING is usually a sign of severe overheating as the coolant is then BOILING!! The most common reasons are usually pretty obvious; leaks that cause low level, fans not turning because of belt issue, insufficient air across coolers due to fan clutch / drive issues, stuck thermostat causing too little fluid able to pass through, scale build up in system due to incorrect coolant type, ETC. If you do repair this engine, DO replace a lot of these cheaper parts to help prevent this from ever happening again. Having the radiator taken out & Boiled clean is a super smart move as well. Replacing coolant hoses is another cheap idea that will help, too. As for value or if you should repair this machine, that will be a decision that only you can answer. If you can find a 751 or 753, that runs, it might be best to part it out to help regain some of your lost $4000 purchase price. Someone once told me that life gives you the test first, then teaches you the lesson second. It makes it difficult to get it right every time. [/QUOTE]
