Car is still running too warm I think. Acts like a cylinder is leaking into the coolant but no bubbles......it just sits there fine for a second and then woosh....water comes shooting out of the radiator....fill it back upo...let it run for a minute and the same thing.....any ideas?

Well it's in but I'm getting what sounds like piston slap at 2500 rpms or less. Haven't taken it over 4500 rpms yet. Seems to run a little warm, 225-230ish but I think thats a factor of break in...and its in the 80s today. Rings took about 10 minutes to seat. May have to pull a head off as the passenger side gasket was leaking like a sieve before i ever started the car. After running it a few minutes it all but quit. 2bseen had the same issue with the boost gaskets. May need to retorque the heads later. No smoke so we will see how it goes. A/c took one can of refrigerant/oil/conditioner and one 12oz can of refrigerant. Seems to be colder than it was before. I took a chance and didnt pull a vacuum on the system....just shot the juice to her and we have A/C! I'll post specs in a bit but basically stock
