[/align][/align]well its a lil tricky for me to go anywhere but my house right now lol. dont want to drive my car because of the pressure problem, and both my rents are gone.. i dont even think im going to get to work. but thanks for all the info mattdel!!![/align]

HOLY HELL!! Napa said that they dont have the kit but they can order it. but its $160!!! im prolly just going to take it to a shop and have them check it out.. because even once i have the pressure problem solved it looks like i have a leak somwhere, and i really dont want to tear that **** all apart again.. sucks but what can ya do.

mattdel

they're thinking of something different. that kit i showed u is less than $20

A block tester (what your buddy is bringing over) is a great tool, but because of the way it works (chemical reaction) it is not the most accurate thing on the planet. I say go to the zone and get a pressure tester. This is a rad cap with a hand pump on it. Install it and start your vehicle. If the pressure jump up - you have a bad head gasket. Otherwise if it climbs up slowly, (same rate as the engine temp, yeah I know you don't have a gauge but you have to wing it) you likely don't have a bad gasket. Using this in conjunction with the block tester is going to be the most comprehensive. A bubble and a bad head gasket will act the same in regards to pressure increase.
I would use the tester to find your leak, fix that and then move on. If you have a leak at a high point in the system, you will fill the system with air each time the engine cools off.

Unhook the heater hose that goes to the manifold and pour water down it. That is the highest point in the block. That should get rid of any stuck air bubbles.

But of course, Ebay is always a good choice
