Re: Drilling thermostat

OK, replaced the old Cometic head gasket with a OEM composite one, headstuds torqued to 100lbs using ARP Moly Lube. Also installed new water pump (the better design) and new O-ring.

She is still running hot. Time to make some baffles to help more air get through the radiator.

One other thing I was thinking about since I really want to retain my A/C. I was going to try and find a smaller profile condensor since I don't use my A/C that much, and it would block less air going into the radiator.
