They were replaced with heavy duty studs and bolts. So let's get back ti oruginal and first overheat...the light went on and not a second after I caught it and immediately pulled over. Would an improperly burped radiator cause this so quickly? I mean my guess is that the head gasket gave between the cylinders ever so slightly and then just gave out from there, in fact, it could have already gone when on dyno. That could have been the white smoje I noticed. Probably not. Either head was torqued improperly or overheated just enough to make tge gasket shit the bed. From that point every time I gave it hell the hot air creeped under the gasket just enough to make pressure and overheat coolant.
Of course, I'm just guessing wildly here but what do you guys think?
I would say the head bolts were improperly torqued, if the head was cracked it would overheat always. Since its only under boost it seems the head is lifting slightly due to boost pressure. Get a new headgasket, have the head pressure tested and then re-surfaced and make sure you use headstuds, and be absolutely sure they are properly torqued.Originally Posted by SAX JONZ
That's what's getting done. So my impression was correct then? It was just a guess. Once head gasket leaks it's done. I had this happen to my kz.
A thousand thanks for all of the responses. Greatly aporeciated.
I think they fixed the problem. No overheating yet and I have been beating on it. Damn, I love how fast my car is and how it spins in many gears. Now, I just have to mount the real tires to the wider rims I got and get lugs. I think I will like it even more. They shaved 5thousandths off the head. Was warped on one side a little.
Nice man. Let's see some footage. I like hearing high revving rotrex cars

Ok. Will do. Saturday I'll be getting my rims and tires on. Tomorrow I'll be going for lugnuts at king motorsporrs in wus. U could make a few videos with snow tires and then with the wheels on.

Ok, so quick question. I just checked my radiator coolant level cause now I am a freak about this stuff and noticed it was low. Hopefully it was because it takes a little while before radiator completely fills. I have a sneaking su****ion that I may not have gotten rid of this issue yet. Is it normal that you would have to add coolant after burping a system?
yes fill it again and Cruise. Check level again after its fully cooled

So far so good. Light came on one time in stop and go traffic. Lost no fluid. Got these mounted today.
Apparently, child labor laws don't apply in Indiana. Lol
