And, and, and. I've tested the radiator cap and it holds 15-16#s. I tried hooking up my old electrical SW gauge to the new VDO sending unit and got the same reading as the VDO gauge. It is definitely overheating since I do get puking at the high temperatures. I have a Deadenbear thermostat housing tower that raises the coolant level higher than the heads by a few inches, so I don't think I have an air bubble. Any other way I could ensure no bubbles? No heater hoses and no water pump to intake bypass hose. Never had them. The block and heads were hot tanked and thoroughly cleaned when I rebuilt it and everything was clean and clear. I do have a new Griffin radiator, with shroud and Spal fan on order which surely shoould control the overheating, but I'm really concerned about the lean situation. The headers have not glowed. that I've seen, but the jet hot coating is not as shiney as it used to be, so I'm thinking they have gotten pretty hot.
