If ur overheating and losing water, retorque the head. One of ur head bolts is loose and pressure is rising the head and burning the radiator fluid. Even if u have a perfect headgasket this can happen too, if all hell fails just start from replacing the headgasket

Rewired the fan to come on with the ignition (all my cars are like that) and noticed it was wrong, switched it around, went and drove the car for 30+ minutes, beat on it a little, and it never came to the middle, problem solved.. thanks guys!

Yeah, the car was boosted at one point, with a huge 1fab mani so the rad. fan and a/c condensor fans were on the other side, when I put them back I never reversed the wires, so that was my problem..

Those are the best, but it did cost me a ride home with the a/c off since that made it overheat faster, that's worse than spending money..
