Re: please help troubleshoot!

I've gotten all the air out of the coolant. I'll start it cold to find out what heats first. When there were air bubbles in the line I saw them travel from the cold side at the bottom of the HE to the hot high side. high and low being a difference of inches.

Re: New! new! newbies

Thanks for the warm welcome. Things are going good with the wheels and i think we've worked out the kinks in the WVO system although we're getting a little black smoke on start up with the WVO and some throbbing during early idling. We're hoping this will work itself out on our first big road trip. ...
