Thanks for the recommendation. I do install all of the stock pieces so the cover is there. Really, the only thing I changed from my previous motor was the size of the oil cooler, radiator and the grille. The radiator was an upgrade so I doubt that hurt me but the possibility there was air in the system after install is definitely high. The larger cooler should also help. So I still think it was the grille and maybe air in the system that caused the problem. I don't want to blame the 10AN lines and I wasn't going to spend the money right now to upgrade but I did it and I feel better that I did. I think the open grille will solve the problem and hopefully there is no additional air in the system.Not sure if this has already been said, or maybe you re-installed it, but you need to reinstall the radiator plastic cover that goes between the plastic grill and the back of the radiator. Air will absolutely escape out the top of the radiator without this piece in place. The resistance to flow the air is met with when you combine the Oil cooler, ac condenser, radiator, fan shroud and engine bay will result in air wanting to escape up and around the radiator if you don't have that top piece installed. I may or may not have tested this theory with a leaf blower, but I digress.....science
