+1 for pressure test, are you completely sure that you're getting coolant in the intake?

The 60* motors are great motors, capable of making plenty of power and reliable.

To be honest... I see many more 3100's at my work with issues than 3800's.

And i mean MANY times more.

When you had the LIM off, did you check for pitting?

As twice before me have said....pressure test. C'mon man.
