Solved i think but grrr...
Car continually overheating at first after lim makeover. I did a new temp sensor, t stat and rad hoses. During the first few overheating cycles i figured air in the lines and got tons of advice on the procedure as i thought i was doing it wrong. Still hot as hell. Next figured new thermo sucked so threw it in boiling water and it opened. Check there. Figured more air in line or clogged system. Got coolant flush and still problems. Not much choice after that. I figured rad but to my surprise it was brand new. Therefore must be waterpump. Purchased one and slapped it in tonight. Yeah completely moving the power ateering pump was a bad idea lol. Anyway filled her up with coolant and bought a new rad cap too. Fired car up and once it got around operating temp it went sky high again. Dog shiet! Gotta be air! NOPE!
At this point i have thrown a few tools and cursed many a thing. When i tried the bleeding somwthing dawned on me which should have a hellish amount earlier in the process. When i revved car up with bleeder open no coolant i thought air pocket but also thought about the thermostat again. So i pulled out that mf'n pos and fired car back up... Temp was awesome but way low therefore i am thinking thermostat although it opened in boiling water, was playing me for a fool this whole time. Gonna grab another one and hopefully it will work. Damn t stat this whole time
