Thanks again, this has just motivated me further to finish the new engine. Next time out EVERYTHING will be new and shouldnt have any more issues. And you can tell Eric his hose will be in on monday :bigthumbsup:

Anyhow my side of the story is just as bad. After we fixed the hose the car just kept climbing in temperature, i cruised down the hill to clairmont and kept the temps around 170, until i got back on the freeway and it jumped to 220-230 again. During the cruise back after missing the turn the cars IAC took a shit, so any time i let off the gas it would die and i would have to downshift to keep it running. Then i blew out my header gasket and the car was popping and what not the rest of the drive. Just alot of little things that happened all at once further pushing for the 347 i have in the shop.

Ben did you get my text?

Don't worry about it, I'm glad you caught me before I left my house and that you were able to get home. Even if I was in the middle between everyone I still wouldn't have felt comfortable going very quick on that road and Mya kept getting car sick anyways. If the girls weren't with me then I'd push it some. It's funny because the last few times we've done mountain roads she's been fine but this road got to her.
