So let the engine cool down for about 4 hours. Went back and the coolant level was down quite a bit in the Degas bottle (as expected). I opened the bleed valve and filled the degas bottle to the cool max line. I then let the engine idle for about 5 minutes (for about 1 of those minutes...

Here's a picture of the Degas bottle. This is right under 85k miles of driving in Florida and Texas Also, still battling bleeding the system. Seems there is air somewhere because the car runs fine with the heat on, but as soon as I try to use the AC, the car starts to overheat a little...

Ok, so tonight I started tackling the job. I replaced the upper hose assembly, that was easy. I've got everything off to replace the Degas bottle, EXCEPT for the hose clamp back by the firewall. Do I need to get a pair of the cable type hose clamp pliers? Because I cannot get close to...

Thanks! I have already had the thermostat housing replaced, it catastrophically cracked and this piece seems to have developed it's crack about a month or so later.

Nah, figured I would start fresh, since I didn't start that original thread. Thanks for the parts list. Is this the pieces I have seen people calling the "Cooling T" ?

Clearly a hairline crack in the top, and it looks like it's weeping coolant at that bottom hose as well! Now, could someone help me verify which parts I need to order to replace this connecting piece? Also have a new degas bottle on order I'm going to install at the same time. And lastly...

I'm picking up the car tomorrow, so i'll check that. Other system is that when the heat is on, the temp stays normal.

so would a small air leak cause the symptoms I have? driving <10 miles, a/c on 60, no problem. Right around the 10 mile mark the temp creeps up. I need to find the full report, but I know for sure they replaced the thermostat housing and the thermostat, and the thermostat housing cap. Not...

Well, the shop who did the test and told me there was exhaust gas in the coolant told me they didn't have the capacity to do the work right now, so i'm thinking they're not trying anything fishy. I mean if they wanted the business you'd think they would make room for a big job like this.

I don't know where exactly they checked. But I asked my sister in law who followed me to the shop, and she said she didn't see any smoke.

Well guys, looks like it is worst case scenario. The place that replaced all the coolant parts has tested everything and couldn't find anything. So they did a block test and it looks like a blown headgasket...sh*t. So now I have to figure out what to do since that's going to be expensive to...

Ok, so I finally popped the hood and looked at the resevoir. It was about 1/4 to 1/2 " low, so I filled it to the appropriate level. I drove the car around the block with the a/c on 60 for about 10 minutes and the temp didn't go above normal. This morning though on the way to work, again with...

I need to look into this. It very well could be a blockage. I drove the car to work on Friday and running the a/c around 70 degrees the engine temp came up to normal after about 4 miles and then rose a little before I got to work, about 3 miles later. Turning the heat to 90 immediately...

I need to review what was replaced. I drove the car home from the airport with the heat fully blasting and the temp stayed just above the middle of the gauge. I tried turning the ac on and down to 60 degrees and the temp started to rise. Heat back on and it fell back down.

My 2004 V8 LS just overheated this past Tuesday on the way to the airport. Seems like it just started as I got to the ticket booth entering the airport and then when I went to park. I was able to pull into a spot and pop the hood. About a month ago the thermostat housing cracked and was...

The car is still for sale, i've been PM'ing the guy on ls1tech.com where he also has it listed. I might consider buying it if I could sell the LS i'm getting from my grandfather for enough money.

Nice, thanks for the info. After looking at pictures of the Sentas vs the other ones posted, I think the Sentas are growing on me for sure.

Ok, cool, I saw them on that website, they look good for sure. How is the ride on 20's? And did you need hub-rings to get the hub bore to match with the LS vs. the jaguar?

Yeah those look great. Where did you get them?

It's actually pretty good. Only 200hp, but paired with the 6speed manual, it's pretty sporty. The LS I'm getting is the pearl white color
