because the air bubble is purged, and coolant is now fully (or at least more so) enveloping all the metal and transferring heat properly.

until a significant amount of air is added to the system again. you give that thing 100% throttle for a bit and you can bet the coolant temp will spike, and might not come back down. the extra pressure in the system might blow off a hose or cause it to dump all out your coolant tank etc.

same exact behavior on my car.

Yup

And I would go thru Ben at WOT tech for everything. Yeah your going to pay, but at the same time, the market for these motors are limited. There are SOME parts ava on Summit, but only P&P stuff I've seen is from Ben and Milzy.

However, Milzy has gotten some bad rap lately. Stick with Ben
