Just installed a BLOX IM on my LS/VTEC w/B16 head and everything went smoothly, no CEL's or anything, but now it seems that the motor overheats a little bit. I go to check the coolant hoses and lines and they are abnormally really hot. Coolant is full and everything. Any suggestions?

 

You probably have a trapped air pocket, let your car idle at about 1500 rpm's with the rad cap off, and let the fan cycle a few times and add coolant. It wouldnt hurt to reset your ecu also.

I think this may be my problem, but after doing this, same thing. Any other way to do this?

 

There a bleeder screw you can use. Its either on top of the thermostat housing or in the front of the motor at the coolent inlet.
