I think I got a cheap Chinese one because I don’t think the thermostat I got is working properly, I have ordered one from the company you put here tho, the car ran ok today, seems to be ok around town driving, I haven’t gone to far tho, it doesn’t like hwy driving tho it just keeps getting hotter and hotter, hopefully that new thermostat comes soon, I ordered the bypass plate with it, do you think I should swap it at the same time?

Thanks mate, yes it has been trouble but I think with the new water pump and thermostat and the correct gasket I might have it going ok now, I will test it more tomorrow and let you know how it goes,

I didn’t think it would be a blocked muffler, the engine builder said it might be the problem that’s all, the thermostat I got has the writing on the side of it I’m pretty sure, I will check it tomorrow morning,

My post should have said they probably wouldn’t go well on a burnout pad.

I don’t have a photo of it at the moment, the motor is back at the engine builder, it ran hot at idle and driving, it just got hot faster when driving and it wouldn’t stop going up, and nothing would stop it,

Ok so I put a high flow thermostat in that red devil radiators told me to use, i took the car for a drive and tried to keep the car moving without to many traffic lights, after 26min the car was at 90 degrees, I left it running in the driveway for a few minutes and it didn’t go over 91, so it’s a big improvement, I will take it for a longer drive tomorrow and see if it keeps going up or not

Yes to all, maybe I need a third fan on the other side of the radiator pushing the air in,I’m hoping it just runs hot and will cool down once it’s run in a bit, if not I have no idea,
