As a drag racer, whenever you pressurize the system that is a immediate top end off. You're wasting time dealing with possible issues when you could have just solved it. Head gasket is one way, another less common but happens frequently, is a cracked head casting. If we push water at the 1/8th mile marker, we strip the top end off as soon as we get to the trailer. New heads and gaskets, bolt check, and make another hit. 99% of the time, that solves our issues

He isnt at the power level yet where his should be cracking a 2J head. He likely just lifted the head, he either needs the 625 headstuds or need to get the block and head machined and go to 1/2" headstuds.

Did you guys re-tension the cylinder head after initial heat cycles etc? Maybe everything settled after the last event and it just needed a few extra ugga duggas? Good luck with the investigation and repairs. Car looks and sounds absolutely amazing.

Respect and thanks for tuning in!

I'm having the same issue with my rear rad 2jz s14, I believe its just a massive air lock. Do you have a coolant pressure sensor? I have done a cumbustion test and have found no co2 in the coolant, so no blown hg or cracked head/block... Ive just put a bleeder on the top waterneck and blocked the bypass tube(I run elec water pump so no thermo) to see if that is going to eliminate the issue. I can let you know if that solves it? Not even vacuum bleeding sorrs my air lock out, I dont see how it could be a loose fitting for me as it holds pressure befor we pour coolant in. When you get her back together and if your having the same issue, do this test to see if its the same as me. Unplug thermos, run the car to bleed and as you get to 80degc it should start bubbling and get more aggressive as it get hotter. If it does this, we have the same issue. Feel free to hit me up to bounce ideas 🤙 Good luck.
