Notes on

Cadillac Nothstar overheating and oil consumption problem and solutions


I love the automotive industry, problems are simply challenges to keep you interested in what you love and do.


Problem


On the issue of overheating caused by long coolant service intervals, the torque to yield head bolts simply eventually pull out of the aluminum block, normally this is repaired by drilling and tapping with thread inserts kit by Cadillac. Problem these tend to also pull out during re-torqueing then you are into oversized inserts.

Permanent solution

Instead go with long studs of the needed diameter,  one inch longer than the original head bolt,  total of 20, washers same in thickness and diameter as the original head bolt,  and lock nuts.
Drill and tap 20 new studs into the block till they bottom out, drill out quarter inch of your new threads for tolerance between the block and the heads, tighten to 30 psi.
Place head gasket on flat clean block studs sticking up, place flat or resurfaced heads on block.
Tighten in 3 equal steps to 30, 60, 105psi following Cadillac recommended torque sequence.


Reason

Spreading the load over a much greater number of threads.


 Studs will tread the entire length down into the block and this is much stronger and permanent. Consider the long studs in air cooled Volkswagens that run much hotter.

Notes


Remember the block is un-rebuildable and so it is with the heads, so your engine must be still be in good condition when you begin. If already severely overheated or is worn consider a long block.
Replace with head gasket kit, conversion kit, new gasket baffle middle of oil pan. (These engines are prone to oil leaking, and oil consumption). Don't forget the valve stem seals.
Rings, mains, and rod berings,  if measurements or frozen with carbon in the rings its a call for replacement, and also easy on honing, or you will get piston slap! (standard sizes  only are available)


New motor mounts, alternator, hoses, thermostat, water pump, oxygen sensors, T-chains and tensioners, oil pump, possibly ac compressor dryer orifice tube flush, or anything else that will be hard replacing once the car is together again.


These are suggestions that work well for me, however be advised that what you do is of your sole responsibility, it is assumed here that you are a qualified in automotive reappear,  and are looking for ideas out of the box to improve your service success, and that's why you are researching this issue.


Happy motoring.

My life mission is true love.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8


If I love, I will be very patient. I will be kind.

I will not want to be like other people so much that I get angry with them.

I will not tell people how good I am. I will not think that I am better than other people.


If I love, I will always be polite.

I will think about what other people want.

I will not think only about what I myself want.


 I will not get angry quickly.

And I will not always be remembering the wrong things that other people have done to me.


  If I love, I will not be happy about bad things. But instead, I will be happy about things that are right and true.


  If I really love people, I will never stop loving them. It will not matter what happens. Whatever things may happen, I will still continue to love.


 If I love, then, during all things, I will still continue to believe.


 If I love, then, during all things, I will still continue to hope for good things.


 If I love then, during all things, I will still continue to be patient and strong.


 If I love, that will never come to an end.


People with love are patient.

They are kind. They do not feel jealous.

They do not boast. They are not proud.


They do not behave badly.

They do not look out for their own interests.

They do not easily become angry.

They do not keep a record of how people have hurt them.


They take no pleasure in anything that is evil.

But they are happy with the truth.


They always protect.

They always trust. They always hope.

They never give up.

 

 What love is like:


Patience and kindness show God’s attitude to us (Romans 2:4; 2 Peter 3:9).

Jesus showed great patience with his disciples. They were slow to understand what he taught. The ‘fruit of the Spirit’ includes patience and kindness (Galatians 5:22).


Verses 4-7 What people with love do not do:
The first five examples refer to the way that some Christians at Corinth were behaving.


1. They do not feel jealous. In Corinth, people were jealous of each other’s spiritual gifts. There were also groups who were competing with each other. They said that their leader was superior to the leader of other people. Paul had to show that leaders were all God’s servants. They were working together to make his kingdom grow (1 Corinthians chapter 3).


2. They do not boast. There was a Pharisee in the story in Luke 18:9-12. He told God what a good person he (the Pharisee) was. Some of the Christians at Corinth were boasting that they had wisdom and knowledge. It is not possible to boast and to love at the same time. To boast is to make people notice you. To love is to think about other people. And it is to work for the whole church.


3. They are not proud. A proud person thinks too much about his own importance. A Christian who shows love is humble. William Carey was a shoe-maker who went to India about 200 years ago. He translated parts of the Bible into many different languages. But he did not think about himself as more than someone who mended shoes.


4. They do not behave badly. To behave well means more than to be polite. Some Christians at Corinth were not respecting other people. Some people were greedy and they were not thinking aboutother people at the Lord’s Supper. They were without shame. To love means to think about other people’s feelings.

5. They do not look out for their own interests. Paul has already said that Christians should not use their freedom to act only for their own benefit. He repeated this advice to the Christians in Philippi (Philippians 2:4).

6. They do not easily become angry. Paul began his description of love with the word ‘patient’. One kind of patience is to be able to keep calm when other people are angry. It does not answer insults with anger.

7. They do not keep a record of how people have hurt them. God in Christ does not keep a record of our sins (2 Corinthians 5:19). So, the person who loves does not keep remembering an action or insult against him. Some people say, ‘I will forgive but I will not forget.’ This statement means that the person has not really forgiven his enemy.

8. They take no pleasure in evil things. They are happy with the truth. It is a sad fact that people like to hear about the failures of other people. Newspapers, television and radio often encourage an interest in other people’s sins. A loving Christian does not try to find fault in other people. ‘Love covers over a great number of sins’ (1 Peter 4:8). Gossip can ruin a person’s life. But a loving person is happy when anyone succeeds.

9. Paul ends his list by emphasising that love never changes. People with love do not talk about other people’s faults. They do not give in to insults and difficulties. Christians can trust God’s promise to give them ‘hope and a future’ (Jeremiah 29:11). Christians can live with courage in every circumstance. This is because of their trust in God’s love for themselves and for other people.


True love is permanent


True love never comes to an end

Español
El que ama tiene paciencia en todo, y siempre es amable.
El que ama no es envidioso, ni se cree más que nadie.
No es orgulloso.
No es grosero ni egoísta.
No se enoja por cualquier cosa.
No se pasa la vida recordando lo malo que otros le han hecho.
No aplaude a los malvados, sino a los que hablan con la verdad.
El que ama es capaz de aguantarlo todo, de creerlo todo, de esperarlo todo, de soportarlo todo.
Sólo el amor vive para siempre.
El amor es paciente y bondadoso. El amor no es celoso ni fanfarrón ni orgulloso ni ofensivo. No exige que las cosas se hagan a su manera. No se irrita ni lleva un registro de las ofensas recibidas. No se alegra de la injusticia sino que se alegra cuando la verdad triunfa. El amor nunca se da por vencido, jamás pierde la fe, siempre tiene esperanzas y se mantiene firme en toda circunstancia.
¡Pero el amor durará para siempre!
El amor es paciente, es bondadoso. El amor no tiene envidia; el amor no es jactancioso, no es arrogante. No se porta indecorosamente; no busca lo suyo, no se irrita, no toma en cuenta el mal recibido. El amor no se regocija de la injusticia, sino que se alegra con la verdad. Todo lo sufre, todo lo cree, todo lo espera, todo lo soporta.
El amor nunca deja de ser.

 

My quote: 'However hard it might seem to love some people, (and some will quickly remind us the great harm and even death that can come from the hand of some) I find when it comes to my case. I am my worst enemy, and without God's heroes in my life, I would be long dead.' so here I render due tribute.'

1929-2011 Mentor, honored friend, example worth imitating.

http://www.oldpaths.com/Archive/Hess/Charles/Albert/1929/

While not the  apostle Paul we all learn to love after the road to Damascus, in my young life Charles would see potential in the sorriest of drug addicted people (like me at that time). Calling me on the phone when I was underwater, in a flood of sin,  chained down to obligations, and breathing  through a straw that just happened to pass by(God's doing).  Suggesting the last possible thing I wanted to do. But somehow I could see his effort, he convinced me to take him up on whatever, and looking back in time I realize God had used him to save me from myself in the nick of time.
Like in all things Charles had bitter disappointments, I got to see Anthony Bindert throw his young life away in the same manner.
 God please don't let me disappoint this loving friend that you used to touch my life.
Now in my new life this man sets the bar high as examples go.  When I got to see his humble home.  I noticed the dents in the carpet caused obviously by his long hours in prayer, Bibles well worn out, and a zeal that gave his wife that stern look. I could almost hear her thoughts saying 'I wish he'd dedicate that much time and effort to me...'
If you're  reading this and you're breathing through that used nasty straw some kid chewed on before throwing it away so you get water  with hard labored air, remember to say "yes" don't be too proud a captain and go down with the ship. Keep an open mind the Lord works in mysterious ways.
I think Charles loved Jesus, but he also loved to imitate Paul. Funny how gratitude trickles down to us.

Director We Care Ministries, reformer, proclaimer of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

At times, I've seen Larry West endure situations I pray God would be kind to spare me, examples of nobility attesting to the best of Christianity, time and time again I see Lord's hand visibly at work blessing him. I once heard him say "hang on to Jesus and never let go!" Walking in this man's shoes will give you a new perspective. (Believe me, I'm trying to do that) I value what he values because it's pleasing to the Lord.
