Engine running especially hot.... not overheating....?

I have a 1994 Toyota Celica and the engine seem to get EXTREMELY hot!! Hotter than both of my other cars which include a 2002 majestic cherokee and a 2005 Rav4. When I replaced the intake manifold gasket I could see a grayish sludge surrounded by the head where on earth the coolant flows. The car does not overheat though. Could this sludge be limiting coolant flow? Will this flush out if hooked up to a flush gadget at a local lube shop? Thanks for any help.

Whats wrong beside my vehicle?



Answers:    The other guy have a point it could be the head. But if the vehicle is not using oil or anti-freeze consequently I would guess the catalytic converter is plugged up. Drive the car for for a while while at night until you come up with it is hot then look underneath the motor and see if the exhaust is glowing. And yes if the converter plugs it will sheen red with steam. You will also notice a power loss. Good Luck

What's going on next to the saloon??


You changed the intake many gasket? Sounds like you inevitability to change the person in charge gasket the grayish sludge is most likely grease and water mixed which scheme you have any a bad cranium gasket or a cracked head.Most credible the head is aluminum which will crack if it get to hot and chances are it already have don't drive the car until you can hold it looked at or you will risk throwing a rod
