[QUOTE="customcj7, post: 658210, member: 3103"] Same gauge as before. I've verified it with Autometer by checking it with grounding it out, and with an Ohm Meter. Which I would believe is accurate based on it reading 200 before and with a 195 T-stat in it prior. I've thought about getting a Temp gun to see if I can find hotspots. Radiator blocked or restricted, I'm not sure if I understand. The hoses are new with wire wrap so no kinks, and it's a brand new radiator. I'm trying to burp as much as I can using the bleeder funnel in the picture. New cap with new radiator, but I haven't run it with the cap on yet as I was still trying to bleed the air. From my understanding the cap will only raise the boiling point, not keep it running cooler. I never let it get that hot so as not to damage the heads. With anti-freeze in it my boiling point should be about 220-225 without the cap. But maybe I'm missing your point. I figured if it can't run cool at idle with the fan constantly on, something is very wrong. I've got a counter clockwise pump on my setup for the Serpentine belt setup. New pump. [/QUOTE]
