??overheating question??
what is the most common reason for an FC to overheat?
i found an FC, but the owner said that it just developed an overheating problem. i havn't gone down there yet to look at it, so i was just wondering what i should be looking out for ahead of time.
arigato.

Bad water seals don't happen on a regular basis on an engine that is built right. It is possible for them to go out early but every once in a while you see one on an old engine fail with time or just dry up.
