Fresh mill. Bad happenings? What to check for?
Did not get all of the air burped out of the block and heads.
Small blocks are hard to get the air bled out of when filling with coolant.
Radiator and block and heads should take a full 4 gallons of coolant to fill the system. If you only get 3 gallons in, there is still a lot of air trapped behind the closed thermostat.
There are a few of us that take and drill an 1/8" inch hole in the thermostat to allow the air to bleed up out of the block and heads and intake when filling with coolant. 4 gallons.
