    I give up! One for the experts..

    Haha, I appreaciate all the good advice. And you were right about the timing causing all of these problems. I'm sure the cooling system holds pressure because like I said it doesn't drip and it released pressure through the reservoir tank. Can a faulty temp gauge only show up to normal...

    I give up! One for the experts..

    I used this pic when I installed it but apparently i was a tooth off. Luckily, my mechanic says it was all timing. I'm really hoping that it's the only problem. In the past when I installed the CPS wrong it wouldn't even start. This time I'm letting my mechanic handle it that way its sure to...
