i have a b18a1 ls. it seems that it was overheating because of the thermostat so i changed it but it still over heats..i have new everything pretty much..water pump etc..i just got the bore done less than 200 miles ago so i dont think its the block and i have a brand new head gasket. when i ride with the ehat on full the car doesnt overheat anymore? do you think this air in my lines..when the car sits at idle the car doesnt over heat but after driving for like 25 min then it will get hot. please help thank you what are some other factors i should look at

there are several options.but most definitely go with a dual core rad.

 

dual core radiator definatly.


There is probably still some air in your coolant system.

After I built my engine it took a little while to work all the air out.

 

Check to see if the fan is kicking on. Jump the switch (the plug on the thermostat housing). If not, check fuse, then switch, & fan motor.

ditto...just forgot to say it.also check to see if you have the fan wired BACKWARDS.it would be pulling heat off the motor and pulling it thru the rad.i have seen this and just shook my head.....

 

thanks for the help guys my drunk mech. would do something liek put a backward fan on it lol

 

If it's the oem radiator fan, i don't see how it can be backwards...It only plugs in one way.
