Haven't completely sorted the issue with my cooling system. Now am having major misfiring codes.
Getting these codes:
P0300 (Random Multiple Misfire)
P0307 (Cylinder 7)
P0308 (Cylinder 8)
P0309 (Cylinder 9)
P0310 (Cylinder 10)
P0311 (Cylinder 11)
P0312 (Cylinder 12)
P1270
P1456 ( I know its heated Cats)
P0141 ( Oxygen sensor bank 1 and 2)
P0161 (oxygen sensor)
P0136 (oxygen sensor)
Where to start. Please help
NOTE: All the cylinders are on the same side of the block

Since the cat was gutted, I assume it was just running extra rich and not misfiring until now, get the DUDMD tune once you've solved this. Both O2s should in theory still be functional. Don't worry about the 110C for now.
Coils, spark plugs dist cap and rotors are the first part, then the plugs. It's fairly a ancient setup and dates back to the M20 era. After that, fuel supply would be the next culprit.

Well I can't do much when the coolant temp gets up there. now its getting to 111-115. have to always turn engine off to let it cool off or it will go to red.
When it comes to the misfiring, I remember opening the oil cap and pulling oil dip stick when engine was running. Thinking that that may have turn the CEL. Deleted code. will see if they come back.
Can someone help me out straightened up the cooling system. Am not bleeding it right. Can hear the water circulating while driving. e
How can I test both the fan clutch and water pump?
When am driving with slow acceleration the temp seem to stay around 108-111.
Once I start giving it more gas that's when the temp start rising higher. Or I should say sometime the temp is fine , and then will just go up and up

Don't quote me on this, but I think the P1456 could just be the ekat module under the passenger seat. I had the P1459 and it was taken care of by replacing the module. In your case though, you could probably just get the DUDMD tune to code that module out of the system in order to run after market cats.
Replace oxygen sensors if you haven't done yet, only the front/primary o2 sensors affect engine running, the rear o2s just check for cats and don't affect anything else.
You could also have a bad distributor, coil pack, maf, or a huge vacuum leak on that bank. So get a smoke test done for both banks to rule out any vacuum leaks, as those are common on the v12 and are hard to find without the use of a smoke machine.

Did the head leak test.. turned yellow

If it turned from blue to yellow right away, that indicates that combustion gases are entering the cooling system.
The symptoms of a failed headgasket. Seems like you had a lot of bubbling too.
I'm afraid your headgasket has failed. To bring this engine back from the dead, you are going to have to ask someone who is more familiar with a v12.
I think this is a project you should pass on, but if you have the guts, knowledge and $$$-Good Luck!
Head gasket parts are expensive, especially if you replace the intake manifold gaskets too.
That's about all there is to say on the subject.
If you choose to part out, put in some HG snake sealant, drive it until the wheels fall off and even then you can probably recoup your losses without the ekat.
board75596 did the job on his car and is around sometimes. But honestly I don't think it's worth it unless you're really planning on keeping it and it looks like it was overheated for a fairly long period of time. The other option would be to get the M73 out of the silver car, refresh the cooling\igniton components and replace it, which is probably more feasible.

You can also do it like the M70 guys, speyshul sealant and call it a day.

In theory, yes. It's not optimal and can take collateral, flush the crap out of the water after compression has been been restored. How long it lasts may vary but there's nothing to lose at this point.
Some guy on E46fanatics used Moroso 35500 on a built S50 and raced a car for about a year on it, so I'd use that.

But yea, flush it hard with tap water. It doesn't work with antifreeze at all until it's sealed.
