the airpocket that you keep having may be caused by the fitting right off the intake to the radiator, try and find a low profile fitting so it doesn't "pitch" the hose up higher then the radiator. after looking again, ditch the 45 and just use a 90 Looks good ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif)

Looks good
Looks can be deceiving...... ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh2.gif)
After lots of brain stumping I started tearing it apart. Water pump was fine, drained the block, water manifold gaskets lined up perfect, but when I took the manifold off water came out. The heads also still had water in them. So I took the heads off................
Come to find out the gaskets don't have holes to let water into the heads I called some of my nascar connections and no one can match the part number up with the gaskets I have. So now I have the right gaskets on their way. We'll be back up and running by the end of the week.
The one thing I never thought to do was, match the gasket to the head as well. I just checked it on the block.
Lesson learned, the guy I bought the gaskets from isn't sure how I ended up with that part number lol....
