You're not out of the woods yet on the coolant lines. They don't pressurize until you've reached operating temp. That'll be around 13-19psi. The oil line was prob seeing 60psi at idle, though.
yea i figured that on the coolant, was just trying to make myself believe i only have 1 problem left to fix tho lol. thanks for the size on that washer, i couldn't find any last time and i went to a lot of places.
i have 2 new nissan copper eye gaskets for that banjo bolt sitting at the dealership, those assholes closed early yesterday and i couldnt get them at 3:00pm when i drove 30 minutes there to pick them up FUCK
