fapl0rd 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2017 I changed my thermostat and flushed my fluids yesterday to combat the bobbing of my temp gauge and it seems to have done nothing. Temp gauge will come back down on acceleration, but when cruising or shifting it'll go 3/4ths and above many times does not stay stable. My mishimoto radiator is knicked up, but no leaks anywhere and my water pump has less than 5k miles on it I'm just kind of stumped. Any tips for this head ass?

Gordo 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2017 Change out the JZ, for a 7M. Then your problem will seem normal. Jason, next the newb will be asking what 'bleed it' means...... Stop feeding the animals, and they will go away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fapl0rd 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2017 I'll try bleeding it again. I did it for a good 15 minutes last night, but my head assery has no limits. I'll report back later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fapl0rd 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2017 Just to put an end to this topic, yeah it was air bubbles. Spent the money on that ridiculously expensive Lisle spill free funnel and it works 10000000x better than my shitty duct tape thickness funnel.
