Thread: getting annoyed...

when i go to bleed my system should i be getting a steady squirting stream out of the valve because mine only dribbles out unless i pull the throttle.....115k on the car could it be the water pump? my car has run hot ever since the gen v swap....should i unblock the coolant passages on the lim? car got up to 210 today with a 180 thermo in it and proper fan settings......

my car always hits 210 before the t-stat opens, then it never gets above 180*. As far as bleeding the system, any coolant coming out you should be good and bled.

kind of off topic but, did you ship out my shifter yet?

its a stant tstat......

Did you open up the coolant passage below the tb on the lim about 1/8-1/4" when blocking the coolant passage at the tb?

no....do i grind down the block plate of the wall inside the LIM?

Yup..under the TB on the LIM is a little plate with 2 8mm bolts holding it on. Pull that and open up the passages a bit. that's coolant flow from rear to front heads.

ok i ran the car with no thermo today.....car got no hotter than 185 with it 95 outside.....with the thermo back in it runs 201-205......thats quite a diff......i think im just gonna leave it out lol
