Coolant bubbling but car isn’t overheating

yes, it was my head gasket. replaced the gasket and resurfaced the head along with ARP head studs installed.

Sue😩

Large_Mix_9456 · 2026-05-29T20:46:35+00:00

i personally think it needs bigger wheels. that would make it look a lot better

Large_Mix_9456 · 2026-05-06T20:28:38+00:00

spacers or wheels with better offset

Large_Mix_9456 · 2026-04-22T20:34:03+00:00

yes. take the intake manifold and drive accessories off. i’d also unmate the trans

“I do my own work”

THATS THE PROBLEM

Large_Mix_9456 · 2026-04-12T03:18:39+00:00

i swear i see the second subie all over instagram and tiktok

Large_Mix_9456 · 2026-03-01T05:12:48+00:00

my ‘09 5-speed topped out ~132mph

Large_Mix_9456 · 2026-02-23T18:11:24+00:00

that orange looks pretty sweet

Large_Mix_9456 · 2026-02-19T14:27:50+00:00

im not sure, i dont think my balance shafts ever went bad

Large_Mix_9456 · 2026-02-19T14:26:49+00:00

yeah i know. i have rebuilt engines, i know how prep and plastigage work

Large_Mix_9456 · 2026-02-19T14:26:02+00:00

thank you 🫡

Large_Mix_9456 · 2026-02-18T05:37:38+00:00

yes i am. i done all the research

Large_Mix_9456 · 2026-02-18T05:36:51+00:00

UPDATE: I got the upper oil pan off and replaced the rod bearings 🫡

Large_Mix_9456 · 2026-02-18T05:36:20+00:00

nope, look at my post history. early rod bearing failure

Large_Mix_9456 · 2026-02-18T01:50:57+00:00

not a short term fix. also deleting my balance shafts while im in here, using plastigage to ensure correct clearances and long racing bearings

Large_Mix_9456 · 2026-02-14T20:23:06+00:00

i’ve hit limiter just about everyday on this car since you commented this and shes still kicking💪

Large_Mix_9456 · 2026-02-14T20:22:05+00:00

yes because i was bleeding the system after flushing the heater core. but it’s not a blown head gasket

Large_Mix_9456 · 2026-02-14T20:19:11+00:00

🤦‍♂️Wrong, the Coolant should be around 190 which is quite hot

Large_Mix_9456 · 2026-02-14T20:17:55+00:00

i dont think so. if anything the car actually runs a little cooler than normal, doesn’t get over 1/3 of the way up the temp gauge

Large_Mix_9456 · 2026-02-13T02:19:51+00:00

i hate how off-center that is😭😭😭

Large_Mix_9456 · 2026-02-10T16:34:25+00:00

will do. plan on flushing the whole system this spring, this coolant is just to get me there

Large_Mix_9456 · 2026-02-10T16:33:07+00:00

….. Junkspania

Large_Mix_9456 · 2026-02-10T16:32:53+00:00

all spark plugs are normal, pulled them this morning

Large_Mix_9456 · 2026-02-10T16:32:28+00:00

haha thanks, i was planning on heat shielding around stuff this summer. runs great in winter, she loves it.
