First off I think I have blown my head gasket or have a coolant leak somewhere internally. I have had to add coolant to my car about every 2 or 3 months becuase the low coolant message would appear. I got a radiator pressure tester from auto zone to see if it would locate the leak and it held psi pretty dam good and no noticable leaks. I checked the oil cap for any residue of coolant there was some but very minimal! I have had a blown head gasket before on a honda and there was a **** load more residue in the oil cap. I even asked the shop that changes my oil if they seen any coolant residue and they said no. What I am wondering is what options do I have that can verify its its a blown head gasket or a leak in the coolant system that I am not finding.

Secondly I have the zzp S2 h/e and the other day jacking the car up it slipped off the jack and managed not to hurt anything other then the stock h/e outlet for coolant and made a pretty good indention in it. How hard is it to remove the stock h/e and just run the aftermarket h/e? any tips or tricks? any downfalls to this besides lowering the fluid capacity of the system?

Removing the stock H/E is easy. And you can hook the hoses to a aftermarket H/E just as you would the stock one. Thats how most people do it.

ZZP also recommends running your H/E in line with your stock H/E, just a FYI. You can run it without stock though.
