HELP PLZ..... ive invested lots of time and $$$ into this project thought it was complete but i cant call it that till i fix this issue..... someone suggested the heater core clogged but idk so any help will be much appreciated!!!
If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: pressure build up & over heating
Radiator cap? Radiator neck? Fan operation?
It's easy to verify a breach from combustion chamber to the cooling system.
If it's been overheated, did it warp the head? A head gasket won't seal if the head and block are not straight.

Re: pressure build up & over heating
i'm guessing you're running a larger radiator then the half sized stock 95 rad. and an intercooler right?
and using synthetic oil.
is this a new issue, have you had it boosted for long?

Overheating or loss of coolant, heater blowing cold
