[QUOTE="SlowSVT, post: 11705940, member: 20202"] Nothing worse then a new engine giving you grief :cuss: Did you check the head and deck for flatness at rebuild time? That or perhaps a head bolt assembly issue (improper torque or tightening sequence). What I would do is clean the side that got sprayed and run the engine and see if you can isolate where the coolant is coming from. Sounds like a head gasket issue though if it did that only when you were into boost. Side note: A "lifted head" is purely the domain of an engine boosted into the stratosphere running fuel. Somehow I don't think that's the case in a street car while breaking in a new engine. [/QUOTE]
