hey everyone I have an issue that I can not fix no matter what I do and its driving me crazy so I'm hoping someone can help. I installed a Novi 2000 on my car this summer and when I had everything off of the front of the car I decided to change the water pump to a miloden high volume water pump. I also put in a 180 degree mr gasket high volume thermostat. I also had to change the flex a lite fan I had to a flex a lite twin low profile fan to fit the 10 rib Novi pulley. I already had a 3 core mishimoto aluminum radiator on the car.
The issue I am having is after driving the car for 10 min or so the temp gauge will rapidly change from normal to almost overheating and then back down to normal, and this happen every few minutes.
Now I've gathered from reading stuff of the net that I am having this issue because I have air in the system. the problem is I CAN'T GET THE AIR OUT NO MATTER WHAT I DO. I have jacked the front end up, opened up the intake temp sensor to bleed out the air from there and squeezed the hoses all without success.
The reason I think i have air in the system is I can't get enough coolant into the system. I don't know if i am the only one that has had this problem with a high volume water pump or if its not the pump at all but when I take the cap off the radiator and start the car waiting for it to warm up. once the thermostat opens and the coolant goes down I literally do not have enough time to top off the radiator before the coolant is flying back into the radiator from the engine, it happens that fast and the coolant just keeps coming out of the top of the radiator.
I don't know if this is because of the high volume pump but I end up losing more coolant from it coming back out the top of the radiator then I can get in it, is this caused by the pump or is there something else wrong that I am unaware of.
The mishimotto radiator came with a 19lb radiator cap which i thought was maybe too high so i tried a 16 lb cap but that did not change the temp from rapidly fluctuating. Any help you guys could give me would be greatly appreciated.
