Overheating Sierra - Latest

[Steve Brookman]

Evening all,
A few of you may remember I had problems with my Sierra-it had started it seemed to overheat and thge last straw was it pumping out smokey fumes from the exhaust.
Well friend of mine changed the head gasket-it was a bit burnt between number 4 and the outside. Head was sent away for checking-no problem. Everything reassembled with a new Ford waterpump. Drove it home today and it still doesn't seem right. Temp up to about 3/4 but still seemed a little lumpy on tickover and on backing off the throttle. I'm hoping I have a dodgy lead.

Fingers crossed for work on Monday-if it's not fixed-I don't know what it could be-it's had a new HG, waterpump, fan switch and thermostat.
