It did maintain pressure. Did I miss something?When you shut the motor off did the cooling system maintain pressure ?

I would guess... without any air in the system, a small volume could build pressure quickly. Sorta like a skid steer attachment in the Sun, builds hose pressure to prevent connecting to the machine.I guess I may be confused but how would a plugged witness hole put 15 PSI in a cooling system?
Bob
Your kidding right?I would guess... without any air in the system, a small volume could build pressure quickly. Sorta like a skid steer attachment in the Sun, builds hose pressure to prevent connecting to the machine.
I have never had that problem, but actually never had to deal too much with quick connects on hydraulics. I can see that if say you had a cylinder bottomed out and disconnected the couplers on a cold day then came back a day latter in the afternoon with the sun beating down on the cylinder it could build up a good amount of pressure.I would guess... without any air in the system, a small volume could build pressure quickly.

Nope ... try it yourself.. Water & oil are essentially incompressibleYour kidding right?

Apparently you don't understand what a witness hole is Or how a water pump works.Nope ... try it yourself.. Water & oil are essentially incompressible
Engine also comes without a new oil pump. Why? Nobody in their right mind is reusing an old pump on a brand new engine. We have to swap all the filter housings, oil cooler, thermostat, on and on. Not one single o-ring or gasket included so he’s placed another large order just to get enough parts to continue.
I don’t know why I’m surprised but in my head the engine should come with everything necessary to complete the job even if it’s more money. Common sense is not so common I guess.You act like this is an oversight instead of a design
