the hemi that is running hot all the time...i tore into the hemi today, as my previous post was all with visual inspection, come to find out it is an all aluminum engine,painted . with a solid roller cam(unknown specs.) the past life is unknown.. i cut the filter, it looks good, no metal
i did a comp test all real similar..120ish 1st pump 145ish 3rd pump . i did a leak down and it ranged from 38-44% on a warm engine. when idling smoke puffs from both breathers and dip stick tube, i let it idle until the t-stat opened 180 then let it cool a bit before leak down, so if this was your hemi.. what would you do next
