<p>We recently did the reroute and tried burping it as well as we could. Was 50/50, slowly turned into more and more water as the day went on.</p>

<p>Its looking like my next track day will be thunderhill double header in July. This gives me some time to figure a couple things out. Current to-do list.<br /><br /><br /><br />1. Pull manifold, relief cuts, and surface.<br /><br />2. Brakes. Start with pulling the pads. If they are tapered buy cobalt pads. If they aren't try bleeding the system. If that doesn't work replace master.<br /><br />3. Ducting. Need to seal my bottom ducting and build side ducting. Otherwise I'm happy with my cooling so far.<br /><br />4. Rebuild rear axles, find spare ABS 2 piece axle. And lots of axle nuts.<br /><br />5. Make GoPro not suck.<br /><br />6. Install new front coilover sleeves and get an alignment with 949 half and half alignment.<br /><br />7. Install adjustable endlinks up front.</p><p>8. Support Muffler<br /><br />9. Drive the **** out of it.</p>

<p>Could use some help diagnosing my friends car.</p><p>Stock 1.6, no ducting, new oem radiator. Coolant reroute.</p><p>Yesterday I ran with only a top cooling panel and a panel between my bumper and radiator, under my intercooler. No side ducting no undertray. I have a CXRacing intercooler. I never peaked over like 190. He was boing coolant out all day. Had to skip the last session.</p><p>Is it just his radiator? Could there be a head gasket issue? On the second session his temps were fine, then right on the last lap his gauge started to fluctuate up and down. We pulled the radiator cap and he had lost a ton of coolant out of the overflow, but it didn't get really hot before that.</p>

Same buddies car, front main is leaking pretty bad, if we get all they way down there should we do water pump and everything? I've never done that yet.

If I'm it there, I do it all. I like Gates water pumps. Cast impeller and the back surfaces are machined correctly so the belt doesn't walk off to one side.
Edit: The timing belt doesn't walk off to one side. Never had a problem with the water pump/ alt belt even with improperly machined pumps.
