I like reading your build. Your attention to detail is great both in the theory and implementation. You are thinking it all through before hand whereas I'm just going ahead with it, and sometimes doing it twice. Great work.

Thanks for the info about the burping. I haven't had the time to successfully complete mine yet.
I kept adding coolant to my overflow tank every time I walked by and started it again on the weekend. I drove the car out in the street, and turned it around like you guys did so I could work on running it with the exhaust pointing out rather than filling up the garage with fumes.
Awesome wheelspinning power..... but then I had a small leak onto the manifold..... so shut it down. Luckily, just the clamp on the upper engine connection. I think I'll add a valve in and drain it into a bucket like you did till its full, then hook it up to the overflow tank.
looking forward to running it till the rad fans come on......
