Question

ic. well the last gasket set i ordered didn't have the manifold gasket so beeing that i work at autozone i had it the next day. but you do feel that the studs will really help?b/c i bought this car for $2,000 drove it home on the 45 min drive it over heated. i knew it was prolly a HG but i hoped for the best. i replaced all the cooling system conponants and still overheat. so i know 90% it is the HG.. i did a block test but it seemed to pass. it didn't turn green. (i had just done a flush before i did the test if that matters) so i've spent about $2,500 so far on cooling and the car. i also bought the BOV coil overs, tail Pipe. wich brings me to about $3,000. so i am low on funds right now and would still like to do BC and Turbo timer.
