I remember Phil's little louvered vent in his last Montero.
Mississippi Blue tends to idle alot while watching others in the club. Soon as she gets some speed going it isn't a problem. I guess it is possible that the waterpump is bad, I installed it when i built the motor 4 and a half years ago. I doesn't seem to have any problems when it is moving, just when sitting for a while. Soon as we popped the hood and let it sit till the heat subsided, then cranked it without issue. I never seen an engine w/ an electric pump vapor lock, but it sure did. I am very suspect of that fan blade but I did not get a very good look at it on the trail, HOT HOT HOT!!

Oh yea, I'm still around, I am in the process of installing an 8.8 in my YJ. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
