Default heating / cooling problems b swap into 92 4door dx civic

i have a jdm b18 that i took back out of my teg and put into a 92 dx... i am using the stock civic radiator the water pump is fairly new(last year) and i just put a new thermostat in it... i been driving it for about a week now ...theres no air in the system i bled it a few times to make sure and it seems to climb at different times... the gauge never moved when it was in the integra but on warm days now when i get on it it slowly starts to go up ..almost all the way... its kinda weird tho cuz sometimes i get on it and it doesnt and it did it one time when i pulled up to a stop light...i let it run in my garage for a few hours and the fans seem to be kicking on when they are supposed to and the gauge never moves ... should i use a colder thermostat?... has anyone had this before please help... thanks

On a more serious note buddy... You dont need a cooler thermostat, most likely if the temps keep climbing you either have air in the system or a faulty fan or t-stat...

tanks... im thinkin maybe that fan switch on the bottom of the rad might be goin cuz its got 200 k on it.. or maybe the sender might be bad cuz it just does it at weird times no rhyme or reason to it... beats me i dont think theres air i bled it like 7245627567245 times im goin to again tonight but im sure it wont do a ****** thing...i might just replace those 2 things anyway..
