Ok, I recently bypassed my heater valve so that I'm going straight from the core to the head, refilled and burped my system. I also put some uv dye in to make sure I have no leaks. For whatever reason, I'm still getting bubbles in my system! I've checked the bay with a blacklight multiple times under most conditions (a while after stopping, right after hard driving, highway driving, etc), and I can find no leaks at all. My radiator cap is fine, and my reservoir has maintained its "full" level. I also have a metal head gasket and I recently did a re-torque on the head, but I didn't fully remove the head so I could check how the gasket looked.
So I guess my questions are:
1. Has anyone had such a problem before?
2. Theoretically, is it possible that air from the piston firing could force its way into the water jackets due to an improper seal?
Any ideas are much appreciated!
