didnr get hot wile i was bleading the coolent
even pressure tested it and all was ok

with reguards to being a pussy i simply havnt got the cash and have lost all interest in the car.

Since fitting this engine ive had problem after problem and its only so much i can take. How ive refrained from putting a hammer to the thing yet i will never know very unlike me.

i now feel its no longer worth me spending anymore on the car i mean whens it gona end
i could keep having problem after problem again and again.

all that time money and effort wasted for nothing at the end of the day.

It's not an argument i'm willing to start, let alone win... 8O

Suffice to say I have a list of misfortunes longer than an elephant cock

Least I haven't been run over by a bus yet

Let's just fight the crap luck and turn it all around

peace
:cool:
