I'm fairly sure it's not an air pocket as I installed the CSF like 4k miles or so before I boosted her or something like that. I can't imagine the car taking that many miles to work out an air pocket. Then again, it could happen.

I did not notice any mist of air or anything other than the initial start up with the low fluid. After topping it off, it was all clear. I was hawking the water temp dots and the oil temp the whole drive home. The water dots were 1 or 2 dots less than 1/2 way and the oil temp stayed around 180 deg on the rainy cool TX morning.

I hope it's not a pin hole leak as those can be hard to find. I won't know till I start her up and and let the engine get hot, build pressure and I carefully snoop around. This wont happen until I get that darn 20/30 amp relay though. Come on mail man!!

For testing purposes, just about any relay with a 12 VDC coil and at least one NO SPST* contact rated for 30 A will work.


*DPDT or a TPDT will work, you just will have some terminals that are not connected. See http://www.vertex-qis.co.uk/Manuals/..._explained.pdf for more info.
