think I have an airlock :D ....need help

Hi Craig

I found it (I think, using G35 service manual)! As you look at the motor from the front of the front of the car it is located on the right of the block at the front where the block is at it's narowest point. ie, below the cylinder bank.

I have instructions for the removal which I will try to send you by email.

There are 3 parts;

Gasket: 13050-31U00-

Thermostat:21200-31U13-

Fixing bolt: 11916-31U05-

It looks to also have a line out to the oil cooler so you may be able to follow the line back to the block. This line out is just on the left of the (larger shaft) thermostat.

I will try to send you the removal instructions now.

You should drop over soon, I need to give you all this information.

Cheers

Andy

I just noticed an extra note in the instructions.

You need to remove the "air relief plus" in the heater hose and when filling the radiator (about 8.5 liters) you need to keep filling till this point overflows.

It is located back towards the firewall on the left of the block as you look from the front. It looks o be a raised short shaft coming out of the hose with clamps either side of the heater hose.

I think the instructions will help fix the problem.

Cheers

Andy

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
