MitsuStyle - View Single Post - Pushing coolant... New L19's or ring head

**Shane@DBPerformance** · 03-20-2008

I run 29-30psi on E85 with a factory internal 2.0l with the Mistu metal headgasket. It doesn't push any coolant now. This donor block did push coolant when it was first put into the car though, as soon as you boosted it, it would overheat and push coolant. It could idle forever with no problems. We tried doing headgaskets and milling the head flat and it would never fix it, until we pulled the whole motor and got the shortblock decked, then all problems were fixed.
