Something else we had done was when we had it flushed and refilled, we did not use the Dex-Cool anti-freeze. We had if refilled with regular anti-freeze. The Dex-Cool has some faults to it. It will eat the seals out of the engine and then you will see leaks. I hope this helps out in any way.

If the air mass system isn't set up and everything all lined up perfectly, the car does have a tendency to run warmer. At least that is what took my a long time to find out. From the day that I replaced the stock air filter with a new K&N air filter, I had problems until I took the time to really be careful putting everything back together. By the way, the K&N filter will give you a lot more boost to.
