Default 1990 crx si k20a2

Im using the ktuned adapter with stock temp sensor ...now in traffic its reading above half on the gauge cluster...im using a misimoto rad and fan..fan is wired to be on always..I flushed the system and put on jack stands to prevent air and still the problem ..im wondering if the k series runs hotter than a d or b series and this is normal ...anyone else have this problem ...or any ideas please :-(...it wont get hot sitting running ..

Did you actually bleed the cooling system, or did you just assume there's no air in it because you raised the front end?

Well I know my d16a6 runs at 160 because I just purchased a replacement thermostat and that's what it was rated at
It wouldn't be odd if k's ran hotter



I'm sure the guy didn't do a k swap and doesn't know how to bleed a coolant system.... You have to be pretty dumb to not see the bleeder valve
