    Default 98 GTP with excessive pressure in cooloing system

    PLease help

    I have recently completed a head gasket job on a 98 GTP and all of a sudden after driving it fine for about a week I started to notice a bulge in the upper radiator hose and went to bleed it and discovered a ton of air/pressure
    I bleed it all out and it keeps coming back
    There is no water in oil no leaks anywhere and Im stumped

    Do a compression and cylinder leak down test. Both cold and warm. if you have a leak of combustion gasses into the coolant jacket, it would be happening at the HG.

    Which bolts and what torque etc did you use?


    If Dave feels 60% throttle is 100%, what does he tell his wife.

    Maybe your radiator cap is bad. Did you reuse the stock head bolts or put new in?
