=(

Well, I clogged my radiator. Either that, or my 4.56/x-pipe and the hot weather has finally caught up with me. My car is sitting in the driveway steaming away after coming back once again from a redzone temp bout on the highway. This is after a double dose of flush and a new thermostat. I felt the hose and it was HOT and pretty hard.

I guess the fact that the lower half of my fanshroud being missing plus the underdrive pullies finally caught up with me. I'll look on summit tonight for a nice 3-4 row radiator. This stuff never bothered the motor before....

One thing that bothered me GREATLY was how low the oil pressure was while it was running hot! It was barely below half at 3k rpms! At idle it was rock bottom low and rose very sleepily.
