Over heating replaced rad and stat was hoping the water pump would cure it if not ill drop a recon unit in. Aside from turners who I really cannot afford does any one have any GOOD remanufacturing companies who could sort the motor
Are you sure you have let the air out properly if you read rave after refilling and running the car wait for the water to stabilise fit cap wait for thermostat to open ( warm passenger side hose ) turn off allow to cool! and refill .
If thermostat is not opening are you absolutely sure radiator is not blocked. Chech if bottom of rad and especially bottom hose to stat is warm. New rad is much Cheever than new engine.
