so I recently did the water pump and while I had it apart I flushed through everything with the lower hose off and into the heater hose that connects to the front of the motor.
but I may not have gotten everything out as I had not yet removed the thermostat or water pump when I flushed it, yet I think I got most of it. I've filled it up and checked it over the last couple weeks and it's not losing any coolant. yet when I start off down the road about once I've got it revved above 3k I hear a little noise of the water circulating through the heater core. I still have awesome heat, this thing blasts me out and I have to crack the sunroof even when its 2 degrees outside. So I wonder if I've just got some air still in the system since the heater core is probably the highest point in it. I read something somewhere that showed two air bleeder cocks in the system and one was right on the heater core connections in the firewall. but I cant seem to identify them on the car, and I can't find the book I read that in and the other manuals I have don't show them. Do any of you know where these are? or is it sufficient to just rev the motor up high with the cap off and hope that gets all the air out eventually? -------------------- Bust a Deal; Face the Wheel.

So I went down and talked to the guy today. He looked it up and said it pays 8 hours for about $500. which isn't terrible, especially since he knows what he's doing and wont try to fkk me.
and another $150 to send it to the machine shop and they'll resurface it, injector seals, clean the valves up a bit. I told him I'd bring him a complete head kit with all the gaskets and a new set of bolts, so which do you like? Felpro kit $90 http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.p...&cc=1274307 Victor/R http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.p...&cc=1274307 the felpro is the only one with an actual list of all the gaskets it comes with, but it even says things like turbocharger mounting gasket, supercharger mounting gasket. I mainly want to be sure its a top quality head gasket that will take a little abuse and not break again. and what about head bolts, are the $16 ones good enough or do you really need the $35 dollar set on a stock 5s-fe? http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.p...&cc=1274307 http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.p...&cc=1274307 -------------------- Bust a Deal; Face the Wheel.
