new heads and studs & still 13 psi
i am asking this for a buddy . he just tore down his 05 350 6.0 and put new heads on from international , new gaskets , arp's , egr delete and turbo back exhaust . before all this work he had the psi gauge hooked up to coolant system to check pressure and left it installed after work was completed . he was telling me today that since the work he's seen 6-8 psi then the next week 9 -11 psi and now 13 psi in the coolant system . he says its not jumping around our climbing fast but it slowly climbs to 12 - 13 psi and stays there . the first thing that came to my mind was if the new heads he got from international were not flat enough for a good seal on the gaskets .
is there anything else it could be ? any input on this will be greatly appreciated as he is a little upset about throwing 10 grand at the truck and he still doesnt have confidence in it . thanx .

Put the gauge on your truck and see what it does. Is he running tunes?

I know the coolant system is designed to run up to 16 psi. It also getting warmer, and the coolant temps could be a bit higher then they were a few weeks ago. did he replace the oil cooler also? Is it still puking? what kind of boost pressure does it run?

no overheating and no puking just the 13 psi on the gauge that has him worried . I'm not sure if he did the oil cooler . i'll have to call tomorrow and ask him . i dont remember a cooler or rebuild kit on his parts list . wow ! how bad will that suck , just get it back on the road and have to tear into it again . thanx for the input guys . i'll be back tomorrow with the oil cooler answer .
