FIRST OFF STOP YELLING turn off your caps lock. 2nd you might have an air pocket in the cooling system. Did you run the car with the radiator cap off the heat on full hot until the thermo opened up then.

 

check to make sure the fan is coming on

 

head gasket could be bad

 

Original problem would be nice to know. When does it overheat? All the time? When I stop?

i have a 99.9% feeling that Mr. Caplock didn't burb the system. OP, if you burb the system, your overheating problem will disappear.

 

Why do I have the same feeling?

 

I feel as if his headgasket is shot.

Just because he typed in all caps.

 

bad head gasket and might be need cylinder head resurface...

 

do a process of elimination .....check to see if your car radiator cap is still good....sometime the springs goes bad.... is top off.... check the overflow tank...upper and lower hose....did u bleed the system with the valve...did u installed the thermostat in the correct position....

 

Possible, head gasket, air in system, water pump, cracked or small leak in radiator.

 

hey man check your thermo switch by jumping it with a paper clip if the fan comes on then you either installed the thermostat wrong or you just left air in the system when refilling. IF there is air in the system all you need to do is fill the radiator to the max run the car and keep filling till the fans come on. Also you can check to see if the thermostat is opening by letting it run for a bit then check the temp. differance on the hoses going to the radiator. if the same the thermostat is opening if not after you run it for a while then it is not. hope this helps and you can back to driving.

 

thanks for the feedback , and sorry for caps , hahaha
I went ahead and blead the lines for air and it seemed to fix the prob , i think my rad might be going aswell so `im planning on replacing it

thanks for all the advice

Cheers
