Default Headlift cause heat not to work??

got a turboed stock ls on 10 PSI ...changed the thermostat to the cheap autozone crap now when I get on it will over heat often??? heats cuts out ,then will cool down and heat will work again. back and forth.. I was wondering if i should get the honda thermostat first and if the headlift will cause heat to work ??? or does your heat still work if ur head lifts?? i am noticing a lil bit of coolant missing no visable leaks

Is there coolant in your oil? You said coolant is missing, is it leaking or can you not see any spots under the car? I would get another thermostat for sure because the autozone ones can be defective out of the box. Do a leak down test on your motor and you will find out if you are getting head lift due to stretched head studs.

if your head lifts you'd get no compression
