water temp in normal driving?
I just installed a new water temp gauge and my readings are at 230F during a hot summer day. It's a B18c1 motor. It seems pretty hot and I'm unsure if it's normal

yes even a little air can be a Big nightmare. ive had tons of problems after my swap with air in the lines and i always though it was electronic problems but i later found it it was air.. strange how it keeps you alive but some times can be your worse enemy. and the cars

I am driving it for a bit now and noticed that it gets hotter the longer I drive. What is the overheat temp anyway? I have a mishimoto rad. The only time it cools down is when I idle and when the fan kicks in.

Ive been saying for over a year now..
Mishimoto keeps saying that there slim fans work perfectly in keeping the temps down.. I went thru a 12" and that didnt do anything. I tried their 14" and not much difference.. (there was only like 50 more CFM with the 14")
I went to Xenocron.com and bought their 13" 1300 cfm fan and it works great..
I really think this is why Mishimoto went to a triple core cuz their fans on the dual doesnt seem to work on hot days..

Yes both of the hoses are hot. I have an obd2 motor so the only way to bleed it is to open the rad cap while the car is running and squeezing the upper hose. I was wondering if I could mount my stock fan on the mishimoto rad.

Bleeding may take 20-30 minutes:
1) Park the car on an inclined driveway with the front end higher than the rear.
2) Push the dash heater lever/**** to MAX heat.
3) Follow the directions in the diagram below
