I put in higher compression pistons, 9:1
rebuilt my turbo
may have a slight leak at the oil pan.
I'm going to replace the thermostat today and see if that helps,
but would having the 9:1 pistons produce more heat?
I'm about 220 F at the thermostat housing after 10-15 min of driving
And about 120 F at the top of the radiator..
Sometimes i get boiling coolant after a drive, or steam,
the coolant in my over flow is boiling.
and the other day driving home my turbo quit working
i'd put my foot on the gas and get about 3 psi (guesstimating of the stock guage)
Just rebuilt the motor and it has 100 miles on it
I got some radiator flush and some new coolant, thought i might remove the radiator and fans and clean them really well along with the SMIC.
Also, I'm replacing the alternator if that has any effect on anything.. blew up a battery the other day, and the bearings in the alternator were shot..
