But now that I think about it, i always hear a "gurgling" noise coming from the engine before it starts to get hot. But when putting the new coolant in i ran it and let it run the air out and put even more coolant in..
I checked for water in the oil and there wasn't any. Last edited by vdesign; 06-25-2008 at 04:30 PM. |

If I where you I would check the torque on the arp's whom ever installed it probably went with the TSRM 52ft-lb instead of torquing to HKS reccomended 72ft-lb. You wouldn't necessarly have a blown gasket but more of an undertorqued one. After that sit in the driveway and check the coolent then idle with the heater on and see if you get any bubbles in the radiator and check your passanger floorboard for leaks as well. If all that is fine then try to get it to overheat in the driveway by idling maybe you will catch something like a small leak from your TB hoses. It also might be overly advanced timing, reset to stock. Just some simple suggestions.

if you have done all that work by yourself, your not a newb haha. your well ahead of half the people that post here
 the gurgling means that air is somehow getting into your cooling system. one of your hoses might be a bit loose, allowing air to be sucked in, or you just didnt get all the air out in the beginning. dont let the car get into the red...super, extremely bad things will happen. MKIII supras tend to blow something up if they overheat...they dont fare well with very high temperatures. aer you sure the fan clutch isnt bad? and do you have a fan shroud on the car?

I do have a shroud on it, the duct taped one. the passenger side of the shroud is broke, so i can't bolt it in. (the whole shroud is still intact, just can't bolt it on)
I'll check the hoses again and see if the head gasket is torqued down enough. The head gasket not torqued down enough makes the most sense to me |

If you go with a metal headgasket you know that the head and block have to be extremely smooth and resurfaced very well. The metal headgaskets are more picky then regular headgaskets in that situation.

+1...the head needs to be milled to a certain RA for the metal head gasket to seat properly.
