no problems getting it inspected with full hydro steering?
nope - I even went to a normal auto shop. They didn't drive it or anything, just checked the lights, horn, wipers, and parking brake
Yes, it was inspected this morning and passed! They didn't have to check emissions and they didn't drive it. We've also sent in for our specialized plates.Quote:

Need some tech help - Fred? Flem?
I cannot get the coolant system working properly... It seems like the thermostat never opens up.
I have a SPAL switch on the passenger head that turns the fans on when the heads get to 195 degrees and turn off at 175. The ECT for the engine is on the driver side head and it is shutting down the engine.
The radiator NEVER gets hot - the upper hose might get hot after I shut the engine down, but the lower one - by the thermostat never gets warm.
I drilled three (3/32") holes in the thermostat plate to allow water to get to the other side and open the thermostat - that didn't work. I have burped it multiple times and there can't be too many more air pockets in that thing...
I believe that the OEM thermostat is supposed to open at 215. My theory is that it opens and allows the 80 degree radiator water to come in and then it closes.
I am a little confused on the operation - the top hose send water TO the radiator and the lower is OUT thru the thermostat right? Somethings not right, I'm getting frustrated...
the thermostat is always where water comes out of the engine. if not it would never stay open or your engine would be running WAY too hot. check your belt routing.
the belt is routed correctly - I just verified. If the water comes out of the engine at the thermostat (lower hose on this engine) it will be going against the spring loaded operation of the thermostat - which might be OK, but I thought I would point it out. When the thermostat opens it moves the "plunger" towards the engine.
little clarification?
so the engine is getting hot enough that it shuts itself down?Quote:

my next problem is that the oil pressure runs about 90psi at idle and the goes down when I rev it up. I have never seen it below 75#'s. The signal is coming from the PCM.
