This.

You’ll probably be able to drive it for a while before you actually have issues. My first symptoms were like yours after a long drive getting off the interstate the temp spikes up. Additionally if I filled up the radiator and overflow the pressurization would push coolant overboard from the...

Yeah i also accomplished this in my garage this weekend. My buddy and I did the whole thing in about 13 hrs with a lunch in the middle. It helps that the engine never overheated. Only specialty tools really are a good torque wrench, best if you have a 3/8 for the cam bolts and a 1/2 for the...
