Have you put any more thought into squeezing some more power out of the engine. Like strapping on one of those intake fans

Seems my enjoyment is short lived... Seems as though if you get an engine rebuild a thermostat is a thing of the past... Or not...

Oh no! Hope it is sorted for you quick smart.
I should just convert to single, right?As soon as she hands it to you, slowly take of your pants, then, while staring her straight in the eyes rub it against the tip of you penis, while continuing your painfully intense gaze whisper to her;
"My eye is watering, this might be a bit hot"

na car hasnt overheated thats the least of my concerns at the moment
basically Lee (00gt) came over and we got it all sorted, filled the radiator with water and did a pressure test, got to 2psi and water went everywhere, short story figured that the thermo housing plate wasnt bolted on tight so we tightened it and tried again... thought this would fix it... sadly mistaken... second time water everywhere again...
turns out that the mechanic that did the rebuild did everything fantastically... but forgot to put a thermostat into the water pump (hence creating a seal and then not having a leaking cooling system)
So pretty furious about all this, called my mate from Subaru and went nuts...
so long story short... everything is good just dont have a thermostat... still working on origional issue the guy that did the heads dismanteled them completely, cleaned, checked valves, springs and retainers, replaced every valve seal and said nothing was blatentially obvious... so just hoping that it will be sorted and just be a dirty internal engine...
if that doesnt make sense im so tired from working on this car... if it doesnt make sense ill try explain it tomorrow or something...

Alright fired the old girl up today, have issues
Vdc
Abs
Airbag
Check engine light (on/off)
These lights are on and I am stumped, sent Aek a pm to borrow a scan gauge...
That's the hard stuff, the easy is exhaust smells like a rotten egg, massive exhaust leak
