So... I posted this on FB but haven't been in here much of late... Been in the shop every day other than the day I had surgery for the last month... Sat and Sun included... We are trying.. Like hell to have her at the mile... So... A question... What happens to the stock radiator when you lift a head and blow the head gasket out of three cylinders... Well, some of that pressure goes into the cooling system... And the result is...

We got a replacement the day after that was discovered.. It was hidden behind the intecooler and so not found til the other day...

Here is a pic with the new rear tires and wheels installed... The tires are really soft compared to the GY's.

Even with a full alloy rad, it pressure gets too high it too will expand and possibly burst. Biggest difference is it will cost more to replace.
Monitor cooling system pressure and include some safeties based around it if need be. |

So, you're running the Hozers in the rear only? Did you find a good front to match, that will keep your Traction Controller happy?

The biggest advantage here is the additional cooling capacity since the block is half filled... Quote:
