...this issue would be next to impossible to diagnose without pressure taps, so it could be cause for concern, and maybe just a small concern, but it shouldn't be dismissed out of hand with purely circumstantial evidence. I mentioned in the other thread that I am willing to help measure to see what can be seen....

I eliminated the AST on my car without consequence. I used the Banzai billet cap for the thermostat housing. My engine did not have the correct thermostat housing so I picked up one from a Club Member and as an added bonus, when I removed the old housing I found the thermostat installed backwards! Engine was rebuilt by a previous owner, only had a few thousand miles on it but I was amazed that the engine survived that experience.
After you fill and bleed the engine you should check after the engine has been run and cooled down. I checked it every morning for a week, each day I added a little more coolant, it bled the air out after a few days and has been running great .
