You 1000000000% you bled it correctly and all the air was out?

If I were you, I'd run it with the fans on, rad cap off for 30 mins, see what happens... Watch for bubbles in the expansion tank...

pretty sure its bled right i used a huge bottle filled up on top of the expantion tank literally the top hoes get rock hard but me and dave fitted a new recon head /gasket/everything needed so head should be ok? but could be a duff head again

little id of the current situation what you guys think?

Cant believe Ive only just seen this thread really good read, alot of hard work has gone into this hope the head problems gets sorted.

[Tom]

Oh dear hope you sort it chap this is a real bugger of a problem

I had a very similar problem with my 5 gt turbo,on my first build turned out a liner had dropped slightly therefore it kept bowing head gasket and pressuring up! Not sure if the xud are wet lined or not as I've never had a head off one,I had fitted new everything including liner seals so it was very frustrating but on closer inspection it turned out to be that!.

Now I've learnt my lesson my next engine should be spot on :-)

Ash hope you got sorted. cant believe i havent used this forum before now! what manifold did you end up using for the td04, gt or k03? how did the turbo impress you when it did go? thanks

[Ben]

Cars being broken so I doubt it'll get sorted now! And those manifolds are the same, and looking at the pictures he did use a gt15/ko3 mani.
