Re: got my rev2 tub yesturday.....met the AA man on the way home

It sounds like the thermostat is stuck, and so it will boil the water in the engine without allowing to cool in the rad so causing the pressure build up.

Just an idea AJS

Re: Cam belt!

How i did it on a previous car was to put a dot of white paint on the top pulley and belt, and also on the bottom pulley and belt. took belt off then transfered the marks to the new belt so it would go on in the exact same position.

Re: Temp Gauge Wont Go Above 1/4
