Air Bubbling in my resevoir

There are air bubbles bubbling in my radiator overflow even with the slightest turning over of the engine...it bubbles after the engine is off...what causes that?

yea...well you start it, and it will idle at like 650rpm's and the gas is a little stuttery, there's like no throttle response...and some kind of smoke comes from the water that's bubbling in the tank...really wierd. im thinkin my head might be warped therefore the head gasket can't create a decent seal...could that be correct?

i agree with the headgasket being bad. but the p/s is fine like that. almost every s14 ive seen does it. even mine does and no problems in a year and a half.

alright, is there any company that makes a highflow head for the ka24e? I already have my solid lifters and stainless valves, so i don't really need any of that stuff in it, just an empty bored head. any ideas?
