Hey other than this it runs fine. Sounds food idling too.
It just ****ing pisses me off. I bought a long clock. I didn't put the heads on.

Believe me I have. I'd rather get punched in the nuts than pull these heads. T stat was correct and I tested in a pot of boiling water too. Checked fan clutch, shroud placement, checked for a hose collapse, radiator flow, water pump correct circulation rotation, plugged heater core, I've checked it all and it's got to be this. If it was an air bubble which I had hoped it was it would be the mother of all air bubbles. I ran the truck 4 times and each time before driving it inlet it idle 10 minutes in the driveway with the rad cap off to get the air pocket to pass.

I think the local weather man is on the crack pipe. Was giving a 20% chance of scattered showers this weekend and it started raining last night and has poured all day. It filled the pool all the way up to the top and it takes a lot of rain to do that. 20% chance and scattered my ***.

Would be the perfect day for a cruise. Too bad I'm busy with other crap.

I am lusting after the 80 inch led they have at sams club.. but I could get two 70 inch leds for almost the same price. But that will happen at tax time.

Even seen brand new ones be bad.
I did pick up a gauge set for water temp, oil pressure, and voltage that I will install under the old ash tray so I will have gauges I can trust.
Timing was correct and set with the spout connector unplugged and then replugged. Also set it at operating temp.
Getting a fuel gauge that will mount on shrader valve on fuel rail so I can confirm fuel pressure.
Headers were sealed well. Thermostat, water pump, radiator have all been confirmed to be good. No clogs in any of the other hoses.
Radiator cap is a new stant 13 lb with relief valve.
Mixture was 50/50 using distiller water. Transmission was working good through all of it.
The temp sender is in the lower manifold above the #5 cylinder. All seals were perfect for water pump, thermostat housing, and lower manifold to heads.
I gave it enough time to try to pass a bubble but I didn't want to do any damage so I idled it down and shut it off after each of these runs.
FWIW coolant levels in radiator and overflow rank were always higher after these drives.
I haven't pulled the heads yet but the motor is out of the truck. It appears the gaskets are installed correctly. There is a tab that sticks out and the number is visible on the top of one tab and note bottom of the other. That's means they flipped it over as they are supposed to do as felpro makes one gasket and it works on both sides.
