RE: Matt's "Drives as fast as it's Towed" 85 Levin Coupe
In todays episode of "Matt threatens the Corolla with a jerrycan of petrol".....

New engine was in on Tuesday evening and runs strong as hell. Had some issues with bleeding it all through and KEPT getting issues.
Coolant lines kept pressurising and boiling over, ended up having a bleed valve put in to try and purge it easier, still having issues.

- Thermostat removed: no difference
- Heater matrix removed: no difference
- Compression test: 200/200/195/200 (Anything above 193 is considered "Good")
- Tried big f*ck off RB25 Alloy 50mm core rad: just took longer to pressurise and boil over.

Starting to suspect hairline crack in head or gasket having a minute leak.
New TRD gasket ordered and will be doing new thermostat and timing belt while we're there!

Really hope I fall back in love with this car when it's back on the road Sad
