Hey Guys,
I had my car which was a V6 originally and I did a swap engine, I tear down a 5.0 block and put new internals like piston, rods, Aluminum heads trick flow, upper and lower trick flow intake, new K&N air filter, high volume fuel pump, 24 lbs injectors and a big aluminum radiator. After I did all the work, on my first crank the car start beautiful idling, running good, then I make a mistake to take it to Dasilva for a tunning so I drove it there without any issues no overheating, the car got there on its own. As soon I left the shop with my new tune I called him from the side of the road to let him know my car overheated and coolant came out. after I try to ask him if it was something from the tunning, He said no. On my head I said it can not be so I start changing thermostats, bleeded put new coolant and still the car runs like shit, I parked for 3 years and I decided to try to fix it this year. I need some input where to start, I fired up 2 days ago and the car is popping and misfires like crazy.
I want to put new head gasket to see if that fixes the problems, please let me know your comments.
Thanks!
