Blue-

I was worried that you would say that. I'm still worried about the head too. Pressure tester is on the way.

Yes, my needle works. With the low temp TStat, I have found (with both ln and bw) that high speed runs on wide open roads with no stop and go results in a coolant temp around 160ish. Stop and go is different, 180ish. Shutting down immediately after a fast run will also run the coolant temp up to 190.

Lemans -
What a Lisle funnel? Is it supposed to reduce bubbles while pouring fluid? I truly don't think there is air in the system. If there was, the symptoms would be overheating followed by overflow.

The anatomy of the overflow tube confuses me. According to the fsm, the system should be pressured to 1.3 bar. How does it do that if there is a tube stuck out the top of the tank without some sort of restrictor valve on it?
