[QUOTE="clemsonjeep, post: 714377, member: 6317"] I've got a head scratcher I could use some help figuring out. There was nothing "wrong" with the way my engine ran before I started swapping to this new setup. It'd smoke a little on long decel engine braking but that's about it. Now that I've gotten it running and left it idling for longer periods and even driven it around the block a time or two I've got steam coming from the valve cover vent hose. See video below. There's nothing visible coming from the exhaust idling, accelerating, decelerating, etc. I checked compression (engine wasnt hot) and got 121, 115, 115, 121. Nothing really stands out to me there. I also pulled the intake completely back off the engine to inspect how the gasket between the manifold and head were sealing...nothing obvious there either. The engine starts easy when hot or cold, runs smooth, and maintains temperature as it should with the fan cycling on at 190* and dropping it to 180* like it should. The only difference in the cooling system is I'm running a 180 thermostat whereas I had no thermostat with the previous setup.
