Not to feed this thread or anything but,

Are you running any brain waves at the moment?

I think your running on a very low octane and your head is detonationg its *** off.

Run a compression test please!..............on your head

Because alot of people think it runs cooler all the time without one. It's soo funny since those people tend to need thier head gaskets replaced and cant fingure out why. I gave up on that subject, just let people do what they want.
