    Hardness test, another BHG prep thread

    So as my N/A is starting to show signs of BHG, with spiking temps, all my lines are good, radiator flows just fine, did a full flush, replaced the thermostat and swapped the water pump off the turbo one which was rebuilt about 20k miles ago (i think) when the previous owner blew the headgasket...

    Fading rings, switch back from synthetic?

    It's weird, it rarely happens, but sometimes the heater is cold at revs, the thermostat spikes up, then drops right back to normal and i have heat... I hope i don't have a BHG, though i'm not sure what else it could be at this point. I just need this car to run long enough to get my Turbo...

    Fading rings, switch back from synthetic?

    Couldnt really get the bottle trick to work, but i did it with a cold engine this time, heat on full blast, parked on a uphill AND raised the front 2 off the ground, got more air bubbles out, heater works better, but still occasionally goes cold (seems to only happen at low revs) We'll see if i...

    Fading rings, switch back from synthetic?

    I'm gonna burp it again tomorrow, the first time i did it, the heater was on, i think auto on 85, not max though I didn't start with a cold engine, it cooled off for probably 30-40 mins on a pretty cold day Cyl 5 was the only reading that made me nervous, its the only one i did a wet test on...

    Fading rings, switch back from synthetic?

    Sorry i lied, i'm running 10w30, not that theres a huge difference. I've never had the headgasket replaced in this car, not sure if it has before, i'm guessing not I'll try doing a more hardcore burp, after reading what you said a couple times i finally get what you mean, extend the height of...
