OK, New intercooler installed, oil changed, distilled water flush with extended coolant, new fuel filters. Hauled the camper to Idaho with 62 chevy in tow... went up the hill and it Overheated but cooled.... Dropped off the truck and back.....up the hill..(we're talking about a 4000ft or so mountain pass.... overheated.... it's blowing coolant from the cap....then it cools down and is fine. I overheated once not long before I blew the intercooler and before all the work..... If i go out the next day and unscrew the coolant cap.... it's still under pressure. Could it be a thermostat????? the oil looks good, no smoke of anykind from the straight pipe exhaust. I went back to stock tune but still lost some coolant from the cap....Thanks Todd
If I replace them i'm going with the fancy dancy head bolts.... I guess that way it won't do it again.... Living in BFE, I don't have a lot of choices.... How hard is it to pull the heads and replace the bolts.... Is there a lot of crap that has to come off?
