So i'v got about 3500 miles on my engin since i put it all together.
i wasn't in a rush to assemble it so i cleaned and recleaned everything,following all the advice from the TDP manuals One head was a rebuild from a large head rebuilder,recomened by the machien shop up here,the other was resurfaced by them.I Used Felpro 6.5 gaskets and felpro bolts.I didn't see the contraversy between 6.2,and 6.5 gaskets till i was done :(
So my question to all who read this is....
Has anyone ever gotten air bubbles in thier coolent from any other reasones then the obvious,cracked head,gasket leak,or cracked block?
I havn't had any overheating,or consumption of coolent,nothing getting in the oil.
when i had it apart their wern't any crackes in the block,or the head that i reused. There is no smoke when it is running other than when i start it,and it clears up within a minite,and smells like diesel.Have replaced the rad cap since this started and didn't solve it.
i know i'm grasping at straw's,but mabey???
Thanks
