So apparently theres nothing wrong with my car today. It is no longer overheating. The techs at Nissan checked the thermostat and it is opening fine. They also bled the cooling system and got very little air. Compression test was good. BLock is good. Headgasket is good. So yeah....

Simple (not really) solution.

Replace the thermostat, regardless of what they found

No. But, I did forget to drop that torque wrench off on my way up. You see, I was running a tad late and I forgot .. plus there was a huge accident on 163S that distracted me and made me forget even more.

You gonna be home Fri(today) night?

Actually, out of Episodes 1-3, the third one was definately the best.

Now having said that, it still sucked.

he told us it was at 650 to the wheels last time he came out...perhaps at that time it was his plan, and now it is his reality?

no redemption needed ... just a cosmetic salvation.

From a functionality standpoint, you were spot on ... I'll leave it at that
