Engine Head Facing - Charade Daddu

Dear All,

I have posted early for the same problem i.e. Car Heating. The mechanic is saying that the engine head needs to be faced as it is the main reason for engine heating. Though I have recently changed the head gas kit, cleaned up the radiator, and using coolant in it. The radiator fan is direct. The gauge dials goes above half mark in 2-3 gear. At high gears and evenings the gauge stays below half. Theres no mixing of oil in radiator coolant nor there are any bubbles while checked keeping engine started.

I have also got my AC checked through electrician, he is saying as the back pressure of compressor is 40 that needs to be around 70 so, i need a compressor change and it will reduce load on engine. The radiator fan thrust is also fine. I have consulted one more mechanic informed me that as I have got big corolla 88 radiator installed so its making car to heat up as heat is being dissipated from one end only. This appeared to be a bongi as baleno and other cars also have big radiators with fans on one end only.

Please note that AC cooling is fine but the blow is a bit low. Its Sanden compressor installed; i dont know why its causing engine to heat up given all the things are okay ...

Should i let mechanic to play with my car and open up its head for facing ??? Pls Help!!!

Well the radiator you have is the local made with local Jali or Japanese?

2ndly If the car off water or water in oil I think the main gaskit is fine.

I change my charade's radiator with 3 Channel One and the promise remains well 25% of all time, but radiator is difficult to find a charade diesel 3-channel (3 Nali) radiator.

Previously I had the same channel 3 radiator it worked fine, but Torah kamzoor hogaya tha, although my mechanic said it was easy running for two seasons and with no heating radiator performace was the same at all I think my mechanic still have some where in his workshop.
