The engine i put in was a secondhand import. who knows how long it was sitting in a yard for, so the head had a heap of shit stuck in it somewhere. Witch finally came out after a year of giving it hell, on about 12pound boost. IT clogged the freshly cleaned radiator witch made it overheat BAD and it caused the factory HG to give up ever so slightly, it was blowing all the water out off the engine via reserve tank after hitting boost 1,2 or 3 times . it depended how hard i hit it. shift gears before boost and the water stayed where it should. Replaced HG with a cometic HG and ARP head studs. cleaned radiator out again ( take it to someone who will pull it apart and clean every little vein out with brushes properly ) AND DONT FORGET THE HEATER CORE TOO!!! i did and now i got shit in the radiator again
and make sure the clutch on factory fan works properly .
