Hello,

Just broke-in a chevy 385 stroker motor, (350 bored .040 over and running about 9.6 compression...only I seem to get tremendous pressure in the radiator, causing the coolant/water to escape thru the bypass line? Note; the heater core is bypassed, so the outlet off the water pump is plugged, also the thermostat is removed. What is the problem and corrective action I can take to resolve this problem? The radiator is a 3 core, I had no problems with a 327 that was prev.installed and running with it.

thanks,
Dave
