i pumped it to 19lbs. the system was stable and no drops were seen leaving it pressurized for about 15 minutes. i was researching and heard that rumor about the tube between the reservoir and radiator being cracked so i immediately replaced and clamped it down (what g2ic02 was reffering to). the radiator is new, the thermostat is new, the water pump i have yet to check (however there are no noticeable leaks around the seams). i bled the system on a jack while opening the bleeder screw to allow all possible air to escape. although i pretty thoroughly bled the system, i figure any small pockets left should be rid of after a bit of driving through the pressurized system (since that is a point of the reservoir right?). my power fc doesn't show the car overheating. i'm going to fiddle with it more and test it again. anymore ideas?
