Oh I most certainly don't have a grill block on the insight, I was talking about my civic (in response to what a fellow ecomodder said about his civic).

At first I didn't notice any micro bubbles surfacing when I applied a lot of throttle, maybe I wasn't doing it right? Idk, but at first it seemed to be bled properly.

I absolutely don't drive the 6% grade and haven't gone near it in my car since I drove it home after buying it. It's overheating on much lesser grades so I know it would never survive another climb of the 6% grade. I may be ignorant in a lot of areas, but I'm not stupid haha (I know you didn't say I was, just saying). I can't avoid small grades of 100-200 yards where I live, as it is very hilly terrain.

I'm going to get a compression tester today when I wake up and preform a compression test and a leak down test just to be 100% sure without a shadow of a doubt that the head gasket is the problem.
