Message	Well guys, we tried a new radiator tonight and yet another cap for the hell of it. That would be the ENTIRE cooling system. Yes guys, everything but going inside the motor so please don't ask "what about that one little hose behind the engine" because it's ALL been replaced :) Moving on from my ever-growing preface on this, we stuck a stock radiator in just for the hell of it (in case of some weird vacuum thing in the neck of the original causing air to get in and not allowing fluid back in). Well, same thing...it's always ONE liter of water is pushed right out the reserve tank and never returns. We also did yet ANOTHER block test (a tried and true test for head gasket leaks and/or any combustion gasses in the cooling system) and it came back clean as a whistle (blue test liquid had no signs of yellow and it should normally be bright yellow with a leak). This is the third one I've done (two with Greg, one with my friends shop's kit). Despite this, I'm going to try some AlumaSeal which has worked wonders in the past for some local guys with small/weird internal leaks. I'll know in a few days if it works! Just posting to keep those of you emailing me informed...thanks to all of you for the input/comments/advice! I really want to keep her and make it to San Antonio. I just can't go without a Z.
