SVX for SALE!
 How depressing.. My SVX has been overheating every week or two.. even after topping off! [Another thread here] Keep topping .. pint or so each time? Dint wanna admit that I saw bubbles bubbling into the overflow reservoir.. After work yesterday, I topped off again.. and siphoned off the excess coolant in the overflow reservoir (almost to top).. This morning, it was close to the top again.. and bubbles bubbling into reservoir, even though coolant gauge showed normal temp! Yikes! I've evidently gone full circle.. back to head gasket problem I had last August.. when I decided to get "new" Nate engine! I have to believe he did the head gaskets.. So, I must have stressed (warped) when first test driving this "new" engine in June (?) when it evidently had air pocket.. I drove home with heater on in red zone .. for about 5 miles ??

Re: SVX for SALE!
$2500 for head gskts, bolts, water pump, timing gear, etc .. I assume he did. I overheated on test drive.. for 5 miles after engine install (air pocket?).. sent to CA from PA. Worked good otherwise.. no oil leaks at all. Ultimate Bummer! Marriage .. or head gasket engine out/in? This burned me out. BARR'S Head Gasket Fix sounding better now in this mess..Bought it last year.. but decided to get "rebuilt" low mileage engine.. Now, same head gasket leak I had to start with!!!
