Hey everyone. So as part of making this 144 run again I’ve been doing some checking on the parts. One thing I noticed after running it for 4-6 minuets the temp gauge was still just barely above C and after the engine was turned off I could hear the water boiling inside. So I filled the radiator some more and tried to bleed the system but almost no water flow seems to be coming to radiator with cap open. And with it on after 8 minuets it’s already puking antifreeze on the ground. So thermostat maybe? My second question is is a road draft tube still ok for emissions. I’m in Colorado and I’m not sure I’ve read contradicting statements about smog exemptions. And if not how do I upgrade to a PCV system. I’ve been trying to be patient and keep this engine but I feel so indecisive. One moment I want to keep the original engine and not suffer the pain of an engine swap and the next I won’t the power of a 200. So yeah I’m pretty silly. I need to make up my mind. Thanks everyone
