When some dumb ass( the jerk I bought it from ) keeps putting spot leak in because the freeze out plugs were bad. Oh, it's still leaking , dump some more in.  :shortbus:  :slap: I really meant this  :nutkick: The back half of the motor was plugged up with stop leak. It was gettingt hot as hell.

Im still shocked that your temp gauge did not show how hot the motor was getting.  I would check into having your gauge checked or at least calibrated!!!!!!
