Re: Power loss, valves ticking, feels heavy to run then stop with a boiling reserv ta
Seto, fill it up enough that the coolant level is in the fill neck where the cap goes. Start the engine and let it idle. If you continually get bubbles there, you have a bad head gasket. It sounds like when you are running it hard that the head and oil temps are getting too high, thinning the oil and you are either getting lifter noise or engine knocking from too high heat temps. The only cure for this is replacing the head gasket.
