d16y8. and there is something up with the new engine. it keeps cracking my radiators. there is alot of pressure getting built up on the hoses. i have changed the thermostat.. and it still keeps getting too much pressure on the hoses.. wht can it be??

Headgasket ?

nothing_shocking

Check the radiator cap. If not that, turn the car on and take the radiator cap off. Look for a BUNCH of REALLY tiny bubbles that just don't stop. That'd be the head gasket. (Or do a compression test or leak down, doesn't matter)

What size radiator are you using? Single or Dual core? I know my car (92 Si) came with a dual core radiator for the Z6 and when it finally cracked after 180k, I got a single core and there was definitely a good bit more pressure on the hoses and the motor itself was a lot hotter than with the dual core.

i will have to do that then.
i have the single core radiator.. but it blew two radiators already.
but i will check if lil bubbles keep coming up.. thanks for ur help
