    So I have been piecemeal trying to fix the massive loss of coolant in my GTP. It still loosing coolant.

    So far (in addition to the tests) I have replaced the coolant elbows, the overflow hose, the radiator cap.
    I did a pressure test on the Rad and it held 10 psi, There is no water in the floor pan so I don't think its the Heater core.

    Im not sure what the issue is at this point so im going to overhaul. (the Radiator is filled with Dex Sludge anyway and it has the plastic OEM gaskets)


    Im ordering a set of metal Lower intake gaskets, felpro SC gasket, Ebay radiator, Upper and lower hoses, Heater hoses, Thermostat gasket, I have metal elbows, should I get new ones or reuse them?
    anything im missing? should I replace the Water pump gasket as well?
    Trying to knock out anything that has a decent chance of leaking on a 230k car
