after tearing the head off and cleaned up both head and block are flat and have mirror finish still. I am gonna chance the mhg. might get alot out of it or might not get nothing. I know its dumb to do it this way and i know the consequences of it so please nobody chime in with the "your stupid"...

Ok now the gauge went to 230 for just a few seconds before i stopped and shut it down. I will check for square and flatness per tsrm, but do you think that 230 is enough to warp or change the flatness of the head? Its not so much about saving time as it is not having the funds available for the...

Ok what about machine work? Do you think the 300 miles I put on will affect anything? I have the head studs also.

How do all your pcv hoses look? i dont think a leaking turbo would show oil on the inlet side? Maybe wrong but i am used to seeing oil on charge or hot side of turbo, from bad seals. Inlet i think is pcv related.

You know i am not too sure on the mhg i would like to put it on and go with it. the engine probably has 300 miles on since i bought it. Looking at the old mhg looks like they might have done factory torque on it thus maybe causing a leak. There are no signs of it leaking i just didnt want to...

Yeah can you hear it engage? can you turn the engine over by hand?

Did you just do engine rebuild with old turbo? or rebuild turbo also? Make sure it is smoke and not steam. I just blew a head gasket and it looked like white smoke but was thick steam. Could have an internal coolant leak on turbo. You can eliminate that by pinching off coolant lines for testing...

I do not know where the po had the block and head done at but i do know everything was correct. Back plate was machined on block. All had mirror finish to it. But being i didnt know the condition prior i put a new gasket on anyways, composite. I have 300 total miles on the jdm engine. I am...

Ok well got car to run at 195 running great found the answer to all my coolant questions BHG, unless for some other reason i get steam out of exhaust and a 3 foot fire hose blast out of rad when cranking? LOL. Getting ready for teardown Think i am gonna have my old block and head machined for...

Very true good point didn't think much the enrichment. Ill adjust my fans again tomorrow and see how that goes. I want it to run right around 195

Update on not so big problem. New t stat and rad cap again. Was doing some inspecting on rad and found that the lock tabs were bent inwards so cap would not completely seal probably making for release of coolant but not suction. Thanks jetjock. The tstat installed is a 185 so with funnel...

The cap is spring ill check return system and see if its sealed right. The location of the sender is Rad side of tstat which is probably my spike issue

Ok current problem is gauge spike. I presume it's the t stat opening. And the fact the Rad is always low never sucking out of the tank

Still having issues. Please help. Used funnel and purged system, filled ex tank to proper level. Have pressure in system now, but tank is still filling to about an inch under lid, but not spilling out? Gauge is working now temp is only around 205 verified, have an occasional spike to 220 then...

I have not used the funnel yet gonna get it tomorrow while at work along with psi tester and compression tester. I say i have no pressure cause after running the for 20-30 min hoses still easily squeezable and can remove cap with no spray. (not safe i know) Can see coolant flowing as well. Have...

Well i actually looked at my heater core today and no leaks, or any other external leaks. I installed the mech gauge as well, gets to about 205 and sets steady, however there is still no pressure in system? What is the proper way to bleed these cooling systems? At work i usually use this funnel...

I mounted the temp sender in the location of the ac temp sensor (Radiator side of t-stat housing. No more ac system) I am going to relocate it and use a mech gauge being this one is electric and took a digger already. I have a new issue that arrived today, not sure if it was an air pocket or...

Name the time then an that will work for me.

Ok so some maybe all of my methods are unorthodox, but in some cases they work. My car started acting up again, found that the safc was showing 3hz on the afm, with the afrs really rich. well i started thinking for some reson maybe my iscv was bad (too many beers) pinched the line car died gave...

Ok so I measured ox1 to ground engine running it cycles from like .15 to .68 or so and afr reads 14.5. Afr dropped to 12 And ox was consistent at .85 little to no change but still at .8 car started to idle different to. All this was done with Safc zeroed out. There are 3 sensors on the...
