Trackdog Racing Coolant Reroute
Just a few questions for you folks, but I have the trackdog racing coolant reroute, installed it some time last year (before my engine blew that rod bearing) and followed the website's advice on switching to the older NB head gasket. It seemed to solve some of the heating issues I had initially, but after a while I noticed that they were coming back.
Have any of you guys with 04-05 Miatas and the MSM Miatas used this kit? Did you change to an older headgasket? IF you didn't, did you notice any weird readings from the coolant temps? I'm so lost and have heard a lot of conflicting info from word of mouth and really don't want to go through more hot coolant temps now that my motor is done, and in the car waiting for the manifold to be fabbed up. For reference, I ordered the OEM headgasket for my car as Matt from Kotzur Racing showed me that a few coolant ports were actually blocked off, and that the calls he made to the local Miata guys in New Braunfels/San Antonio said they believed the older headgaskets on a MSM engine caused cooling issues rather than fixing them. What do you guys think?

"What was causing the heating issues after the coolant reroute install?"
Because in July, I had the older head gasket installed and it only solved the overheating temporarily.
