Thanks for taking the time to read.
Dad bought his commander back in 2008 as a used vehicle. Long story short He's not with us anymore and I inherited his XK. It was a day away from the scrap yard when I stopped in to lay my claim to it, why wouldn't I, It my dads old truck!
Getting in to the history I know, dad was in town running errands one day and the truck ran hot and blew the radiator. When the new radiator was installed, the vehicle presented it self with the famous rocker noise and was left for dead.
It has been dormant for three years.
Its a 2006 XK with 170K on the ODO>
I've done the following to revive the old girl:
Rocker/roller reinstall ( just to get it running)
water pump
thermostat
heater and rad hoses
valve cover gaskets
battery
radiator
new fluids all the way around.
today I had it back together and was taking it around the farm a couple laps and she over heated, any thoughts, ideas, or criticisms?
