This is a dumb question, but are you sure the cable is pulling both releases? Not sure if your 86 is the same as my 90, but on my 90, there is actually two cables, one for each side that releases. ...

I don't know what kind of warranty you'd expect a dealer to give on a 10 year old car. At best, one of those cheesy 30 day warranties which aren't worth the paper they're written on.

Tach in my 90 bounces - sometimes worse than others, with no noticeable trends. When it's particularly angry with me, bounces around 800 rpms (+/- 400 rpms). It does appear to read "right" though. ...

In thinking about this further, a head gasket leak doesn't make sense. My procharger only provides boost to 8 psi. The coolant pressure should reach 15 psi (right?). If there was a head gasket...

Well, got the kit from Summit and pressurized the system up to 25 lbs before it started leaking from a hose fitting right next to the cap, but nothing from the thermostat housing. Then I let the...

yeah, ok, mine stays around 15 (I think it's actually in mm of mercury) when I'm just cruising, and dips down to 20 when I suddenly let off the gas. Seemed like a lot to me, but sounds normal...

How much vacuum is normal?

I've never had a forced induction car before this one, and I'm surprised how much vacuum it pulls just driving around town. My ATI Procharger is only set up for 8 lbs., but I'm curious how much...

I must be missing something, how would I go about this? If it is boost pressurizing the coolant, and it leaks back out from the themostat housing, how would I test pressure at the rad cap? Is there...

Hmmm, hand't thought about the boost pressure getting into the coolant, that makes sense though.

I did run a file over the housing before reinstalling gasket.

Can I simply disconnect the hose...

Can't stop my coolant leak

My 1991 383 stroker with ATI procharger running 8 lbs of boost keeps blowing coolant out the thermostat housing under heavy load. First noticed it on a dynopull, going over 4K under load made...
