Alright, let me break it down for you guys.

I blew a head gasket a couple months ago, recently repaired it 4 days ago with a felpro full head repair kit.

So i have..

New head gasket
Exhaust mani gasket
Intake mani gasket
Valve stem seals
Valve cover grommets
Valve cover gasket
Thermostat
Thermostat gasket

all brand new installed correctly.

I start the car and i watch the cluster for the Temperature gauge to move but there is no movement, fan is on aswell, i check under the hood and i see my engine is getting super hot.

I did a coolant flush to see if there was any air in my engine, i followed this guide.

Tried to take the thermostat out and run it to see if it helped flow the coolant through the lower tube, the top one was really hot but now with the thermostat gone it seems they are both about equal, but my engine is STILL getting hot, and the Temperature gauge on the cluster still did not budge, fan is on.

So from all of this i came up to the assumption that, well... my car is NOT circulating coolant in the correct manor, this is my ONLY problem, and it doesn't even seem like a major one at that... so its super frustrating..

So now im confused and about to drive my car in a lake to cool it down, someone please help me.

could it be a bad o2 exhaust mani sensor or coolant temp sensor?

 

do you think the water pump could be bad? thats why you blew the head gasket in the first place? or is there air in your coolant system? idk, just throwing things out there. or that the head gasket is still leaking?
