Yea originally had a ported Eaton, at 14 psi had no issues tuned by Kurgan, put on Whipple, hit 18 psi and his tune isn't overly aggressive, no issue at tuning session, would say maybe 6 months later issue started and it wasn't like at a track day, just out of the blue driving one day temp...

I read this twice, what a great overall thread, info was incredible. My only question was with the Felpro gasket PT # mentioned, is it only usefull for the DC head and how do we know if we have the DC head? You can really see in the HG pic the larger coolant passage, will definitely look at the...

Reading your post, wondering if it is head gasket, will do ARP studs, but also wondering if T stat relocation is a worth investment?

40K on motor at swap( approximate), Whipple swap in 2017.

Thanks for input guys, here is an update. I trailered the car 6 hours to Injected Engineering and dropped off on a Monday after night in hotel. 8 days later mechanic called, said he drove car about 15 mile loop and car hit 246 degrees in 6th at 60 mph. When I dropped off the car, gave them a 3...

Yes, I bought a vacuum refiller, pulled 20 ' of vacumm, it held for couple minutes, refilled with it, same thing, wind up burping after using refiller, no coolant loss or smoke but coolant going somewhere since after heat cycles, then cooldown, have to top off crossover while expansion tank gets...

Yea that's been brought up..BUT, on a 68 degree day, 35 % humidity, 155 T stat with fan on high speed at 165 degrees, should not drive down the road doing steady 60 mph, temp goes from a start of 170, to 215 degrees and climbing within 5 miles, and once I slow down, tries to start dropping, but...

Car was bought NEW in 2003, one owner, had P1SC with stick Mach 1, this had Ported Eaton, no issues, went with Whipple, friends installed, about 6 months later, this all started, there is no longer any part I haven't tried, that's why I am leaning towards since no coolant loss, intake gasket...

Yea, hanging, over the 3 year period, had stock, 170 Stant I bought off dude on here with the notch, Reische 170, Motorad 170, now 155 Mishmoto, all have been tried drilling 1 to 3 holes..yea , I think you are FINALLY getting it that this car is like Amityville horror, everytime I think fixed...

Ok hotcobra03, just for you. I shut off fan, car hit 195, I put hose with head on shower in grille opening held by our horsey, temp climbed to 203, unscrewed head and placed hose running across top of radiator, temp hit 206, this is all within 10 minutes, I then turned on fan (high speed), temp...

When I first had this issue, I actually had a 3 core aluminum rad (brand new), a Reische 170 T stat (new) and it still did it, but that WAS before I found lower hose kinked and I sold it and went with a new stock rad. I am able to get it to run hot here in the garage since I put in manual...

Yea those all good, I tried AGAIN burping, I had expansion tank 3/4 full , with cap off no bubbles, T stat opened and level dropped, capped it and at crossover filled funnel, no bubbles, while I was watching temp gage, temp climbed to 173, fan came on, temp went down to 168, then suddenly...

I used the Reische method. I figured I would take some out of expansion tank to allow for expansion when hot, but heck I've tried everything else. So, uncap tank and crossover, fill tank to top, then fill crossover till what tank starts to overflow? Cap expansion, then fill crossover, cap and...

I wanted to add some things may help. I changed plugs, all looked good, no white smoke. I have been using one gallon of 50/50 and plain water and all good. One day out of the blue after a heat cycle, removed crossover plug and coolant was a DARK green, like the color if I was using straight...

Well, I have exhausted all I can do so time to visit Kurgan. In addition to all the new components, I put in a 155 degree T stat, wired fan to controller and set to come on at 165 degrees, extended airdam about 4 inches, moved heat exchanger to bottom of crash bar ( was butt up against...
