running hot

I'm thinking lim.... Seen a lil white smokeonce when starting the car.... Plus cranking it has became a challenge... I gotta pat the gas like its a old Chevy... Head gaskets?... At wot I get a little stutter butfull boost still

Got good fuel pressure?

I doubt HG, LIM is more so the common white smoke giver.

I can hear the fuel pump prime... Sometimes it start right up.. Some times it drags and take its t it started doin that after the overheating started

Have you checked the vacuum lines. I broke one leading into the vacuum manifold and mine stuttered a little until I replaced it.

Yea I sprayed and examined them all... They will soon be replaced...

well lims off.... heres some pixx

Typical plastic LIM gasket job.........

thats looks nasty i thought you said the lim gaskets where replaced before you bought the car. those look like same ones(much much worse) i had on my car when you helped do mine. That oil cap looks like a burnt cheese pizza

oh gross! looks like someone threw up on your gaskets lol. typical though. theres your culprit.

I'll bet it doesn't overheat anymore lol

i kno jay dee i thought they were but i guess they lied... cop i figured but dam so soon.. i had the car maybe two months today.... smuts i bet it dont lmao.. and i hope so mclovin..

Looks a little bit worse than normal. Well Done!

the entire lim down was gooie as hell

well lims done car back together and car still runnin hot... faster than before... i feel the pressure on the upper rad hose now.. but the raid is cracked.. again

well how much did you pay for that rad? wasn't it used still or something?

yea it was used.. im going to take it out and jb weld the freak outta it... then tell the dude i got it from cause he not gettin the rest of the money for it

JB weld should hold up pretty good. See if you can take it to advance or autozone and have them pressure test it and see where it's leaking from.

jb welded the radiator i must have missed a spot cause water still spuing out around the top raid hose.. and the temp is still shooting up in less than three minutes...and im getting more white smoke out now than i have before the lim... im about to part this bit out

UPDate.... took the tstat out filled it from the lim.. and put the tstat housing back on... no tstat in the car.. it runs fine for a while.. then all of a sudden rises... idk why... radiator fans working... pressure and hoses tight... ...after the lim i had white smoke.. but now i dont.. so im guessing that was the extra burnoff from the previous lim... but its still gettin hot so the problem isint solved.. help....

its gotta be an air problem.

I know you have said you have blead the system of air, but to me thats the only issue here for the temp sensor itself is faulty.

Here is how I would try, have everything filled with the tstat in there and rad cap on. Let it warm up for a bit, and just crack the bleeder loose, dont spin it more than 1-1.5 turns. Let it cycle and give it time, let the tstat open. And wait for it to start spitting air and coolant out.

Seeing how everything else is either new or been replaced, this is pretty much all it can be.
