JDM engine overheat

'87 turbo II
Have replaced blown engine with almost new japan domestic market engine.
Can not stop it from blowing out coolant. Water pump good, thermostat new, passage ways clear, radiator good (worked with old engine), fan clutch good. Engine runs fine, with plenty of power.

Do a coolant seal check, its in the FAQ at the top of the page. Sounds like you got a bunk J-spec (which incidentally, is NO different then the a-spec motor).

I just happened to be reading another post about pretty much the same thing. Aaron Cake left this address.
