Message	lines with the "uber special updated liner" from Z1,they still re-failed, both sets started sweating in under 1500 miles. 1st batch 2008 2nd batch 2011 Both "batch" versions seem to still have the issue, not worth the trial an error at the end users expense. I've since switch to a integrated oil/radiator setup with all rubber lines, 2500+ miles, zero issues and both coolant & oil temps stay well in the safe range even under hard street or drag conditions from my data logs. ~Mario D. ---------> <---------- BIG single VG underway, stay tuned.... -------------------------------------------------------------------- My current favorite TT.net member quotes: Nice, it's all fun and games until the turbos kick in :) (n/m) - Chickan 14:13:32 02/03/12 -God forgive him, he does not know what he is saying..
