how you know breh??

let me guess. lim gasket job, Cole does it wrong.





nope. not shocked. :th_jester:

15 psi is what the radiator cap is rated for. where's it leaking?

I put the pump back on a second time and left it for 2 hours and it went down to like 9 psi so I'm going to have paul change out the lim gaskets for me I reserved a trailer for tommorrow so I can take it over there and have them do that and we can finish it up. so by this time tommorrow my car should be working 100% well 95% do to some **** just being riged together but you get what I mean...

as long as my bottom end doesn't go when I drive it onto the trailer

cole, if the lim gaskets go out.. it will hydro lock. mine did but my uim also got the hole in it.

umm. according to the gm service manual, if it holds the pressure for 2 minutes, then you're good.

after 2 hours...come on now.

this is a race kar bruh

your pressure tester might be the thing leaking after that long.

15 minutes is typically good enough.

im just confused. you just did the LIM gaskets. what could you have possibly done wrong/differently that having someone else re-do them will fix? if theyre metal. and you used your thread sealant on bolts, then there isn't much room for error.

your suppuse to use thread sealant on the bolts? but they don't go into coolant passages?

and they wern't the plastic ones

LIM pitted?

S/C case pitted?

TB gasket sealing properly?

that coolant passage is blocked off in the Lim like in bills how to mod your lim thread

that leaves a pitted LIM or it simply leaked by your tester.

or the heads are cracked or the gasket didn't seal 100%.

Welcome to the world of very slow coolant leaks buddy.

if you're talking about what i think you're talking about, that is normal. can't have coolant going into combustion chamber.

The Lim was kind of pitted but it didn't seem like anything that would cause leaks...

but basicly what your saying is either I don't have a leak or I'm completly ****ed

Sounds like my situation.

**** I"m going to go nuts if I don't get this fixed tomorrw
