289 dergee engine coolent temp

[gotgrip666]

i didn a comlete isntall in my car, added a hug of 100% antifreez in its and for some reasone the temp kept rising with the fans on, so i cecked the resivor cap and the water neck looked dry, so i adden like another half of coolent and it still got hot the other day, the headgasket is good, im thinking maybe bad thermostat? it would be located at the motor side of the lower radiator hose correct?

Try running 50/50 antifreeze and water. If you still have problems try 70/20/10 water to antifreeze to water wetter.

If 50/50 doesn't do it for you, go about diagnosing the problem instead of trying to "fix" it with water wetter. Some people say they have good luck with water wetter, others (like myself) noticed absolutely no change while running it.

Looks more like -13C or 8F to me...

Look at the top of the graph. Water and antifreeze mix.

Nope, pure antifreeze has a freezing point around +8 degrees Fahrenheit.

Grainger Industrial Supply: Antifreeze/Coolant,Original,1 Gal 1UCC1

Freezing Point (F) -34

pull the intake and check your turbo for shaft play etc, if you are on a coolant cooled turbo (factory or 16g etc). If so and you really reached those temps, first your lucky your engine is fine, and second make sure the turbo is not damaged.
