I'm picking the engine up tomorrow, plus that whole weekend i have military obligations to attend to.

But fear not.. i will be hosting a meet at the conclusion of this build.

So no Spartan. Damn.

Sean, you gotta run a thermostat man. Even if it's not causing your overheat (which I believe it is), you're playing Russian Roulette with your pistons. A cracked piston is a serious b!tch compared to putting in a $4 thermostat. Throw in a 195, or 180 if you think you need it, and see what happens.

ill put it back in... but im slowly givin up hope on this chit

if you **** up a piston i have 6 spares for sale

lol im about to just blow this one up and buy a new one

As of 10 minutes ago, I'm in but that could have changed 5 minutes ago and I just don't know yet

soo is that good news from accross the country uncle billl?

Yeah a little anyway. Not as good as somebody being run over by a truck but still better than what has been happening

You have to run one dude, the coolant isn't staying in the motor long enough to actually cool it down.

That's awesome news. Or, at least I hope it's still awesome news.

Word. Check under her skirt and see if she's leaking.
