I second that!


Also, how old is your coolant cap? I had a friend with a 2g that would push the coolant into the over flow at 24psi with an fp green. We swapped to L19's and fel pro head gasket and still, it would push coolant.

Installed a coolant cap from Nissan 300zx, problem solved. I think the coolant was being heated and expanded so quickly that it was making pressure and pushing the old, worn-out cap open.

Just a thought . . .
