    +1 for pressure test, are you completely sure that you're getting coolant in the intake?

    The 60* motors are great motors, capable of making plenty of power and reliable.

    To be honest... I see many more 3100's at my work with issues than 3800's.

    And i mean MANY times more.

    When you had the LIM off, did you check for pitting?
