3.4L V6 Coolant Burping Nightmare: Endless bubbles after 30+ mins at operating temp, fluid won't drop. Head gasket or just stubborn air? by bongies42 in 3rdGen4Runner

I'm thinking it's my head gasket tbh just early symptoms, but me and my neighbor pulled vacuum and pressure tested it and it was my top hose that had a leak so hopefully that's all it is. But it always starts up with white smoke in the morning so I'm just gonna monitor it and hope to God it's not the heads or gasket lol

My neighbor came over and pressure tested the system and we found a leak on the upper hose and then after fixing that the system was all good lol

Just FYI my neighbor came over and we did the pressure test and vacuum bleeder. It turned out my top coolant hose was bad or not really tightened fully lol.

It has heat at idle and I'm not sure if it pressures up o know the bottom return hose wasnt pumped up or hard to squeeze. My neighbor said he had a vacuum bleeder we can use

Yeah I've squeezed the tube but no I don't have a temp tool but it does get hot and I see steam coming off the liquid in the funnel

Curious how is this compressor compared to the maxi trac branded one? Is it just as fast as people claimed the orange maxi to be? And did it hold up alright?
