Go and remove the water neck; No thermostat!?!?! haha i hope this fixes it ;)
That's a half-ass way to repair a blown gasket that is putting air into the cooling system. By removing the stat you're taking out the barrier between the head and the radiator which likes to create air pockets.

Still overheating.. but lets say if its at normal op temp; itll stay there at idle.. if i cruise and it overheats i pull over itll stay hot at idle..

If its 3/4ths or a little over middle to hott and i stop at idle; it stays there. it won't go up or down...


WTF is going on?
You need a head gasket.

2 hours in; i got everything off; i'm just pulling the intake mani off with the head.. Didn't feel like getting a awkward grip on bolts under the intake itself..

Timing belt is off; All i need to do is pull cam and that other good stuff and the head bolts =)


I'm taking it to the machine shop to get checked.. not messing around with replacing the gasket and that not fixing the problem..
 
Uh excuse me but you had a camera and didn't take pictures of the car? :notgood: :p
