Great news!! Thanks for posting the pics!

I will add one other thing. These cars have the coldest A/C system I've ever seen. My Air conditioner will make ice cubes. I love it!

I really did not want to crack my lines on my swap (because I had to swap pumps anyways) and my AC blew ICE COLD too!! oh my I loved it, so much I drove my rod knocked motor for the last time with the ac full blast ahahha.

I didn't have the tool to remove the stud at first and impatience led to cracking my lines, I hope I can get it 100% with my twin turbo swap cause i sure do love AC

Im having a similar overheating issue except mine does it spontanoeus. At one point i could be driving around for hours at good temperature. Then at others times it will just start to get hot out of the blue.

No milky oil or coolant, no white exhaust smoke. When i first got the car it would always overheat. Then had a mechanic bleed it using that correct setup the it stopped. Now it overheating will happen now and again but its not constant which is strange.

I order a brand new radiator cap from lexus and it doesnt fot the radiator so i guess it after market. Dont know how to go about finding the correct cap but mine l looks like this.

Any insight is appreciated

I would start with the rad cap, then move to replacing the thermostat, then the radiator after that if need be. Also it could be your clutch fan is no longer good. Does it do this on hot days?
