running rough

i have recently noticed that i am losing water. i have not long ago done a complete rebuild. i have changed the rad for a new one but it seems like the water pressure is to much. could this be the water pump! any help would be much appreiciated.

water pump WONT cause there to be too much pressure in the system,how much water are you loosing? have you pressure tested the cooling system?could be as simple as the header tank cap may need replacing.

im losing about a pint a week. there is definatly no leaks i can see. the blocked was tested before i had the pistons fitted. it seems the pressure is too much.might jus be me but it doesnt seem right.

could be the head gasket?cracked block or head porous etc

head gaskets can go and NOT affect the performance of the engine apart from loose water all the time(out the exhaust). what's your spec and what h/g you using.
