Head was just rebuilt and upper hose was replaced as was the radiator cap. Im not leaking coolant but pushing it into the overflow and not pulling back to radiator. Im not overheating im thinking its a problem with the rebuild, thermostat or water pump. Please help me try to keep this machine alive as there are not that many left.

Hope you replaced the thermostat as it may have been the original issue.

Start there

did you install new headbolts?

I had a honda guy do the head and was told it was fixed. The car ran fine for 2 days after I got it back then the upper hose leaked so I replaced it only to find that coolant was coming out at the cap 13lbs and wasnt keeping pressure now has a 16lbs cap and still pushes all the coolant to the over flow but wont pull it back to radiator. Which is new as well. Im thinking the guy screwed up on the rebuild cuz now im smoking like it did when I took it to him to rebuild the head
