what does the group think about the air being trapped in the block 
causing poor coolant flow? how do ya get the air out? how do you tell if 
theres air at all? earl,am i reading your reply wrong? if i would drop 
down a gear and maintain the same speed this would raise the rpm thus 
increasing the coolant flow,thus lowering the temp?? or am i wrong?
