Ok here goes
1: If I drive my car normal no real problems, but sometimes after driving for like 15-20 minutes the heat coming out of the dash vents get cold and the temp gauge starts to spike to about half then shortly after (less than a minute.) heat comes back out of the dash vents and temp gauge goes down to N in norm.
2: If I really drive the car hard with in 5 mins. the temp spikes to almost the red (this was in the summer but is still happening now). I pull over shut car down, pop the hood and see that the recovery tank spewed coolant all over the place, and by the way it is filled to the top with coolant. Then I slowly release the pressure from radiator cap and see that there is no coolant. I wait a few minutes grab my extra bottle of antifreeze/coolant and pour basicly the whole bottle in, and either turn back home if i'm not to far, or continue to head home. I have bleed it like 5 times front end lifted up and I even bought the Lisle Coolant Funnel to purge it at the radiator. Talked to my brother said when he had his Bird he thought it only had 12 psi of boost where I have 15 psi of boost and it could be lifting the heads and causing it to push out the overflow tank... but he was not sure on that he cause he sold it 10 years ago. He said he would have to talk to his buddy that has a few Supercharged Mustangs to see what he thinks.
He also told me to drill an 1/8 in hole in the thermostat to help with the bleeding. I have changed out the thermostat like 3 times I went from 192 deg to 180 deg and back to a 192 deg.My brother also thinks that it could have been running too lean from my fuel issue back in the summer, causing the head gaskets to fail. I just recently got it back up and running from a broken crank bolt and balancer, car has not been driveable since the middle of october. If you have any ideas please help. I'm starting to think the car might be jinxed.
