I'm haveing problems with running hot, it started when i blew my raddiator a while back and fixed in with some Marinetex(said it was for fixing radiators right on it) not more than a month later i had to replace the water pump, then my radiator blew through the patch a week after that so i replced the whole radiator, but my car was still running hot so i replaced the thermostat as well. there are no leaks, i've bleed the system properly, and it is still running hot but not every time only on occasion(more often than not). Any ideas?? PLease helpthanksGreg

was the radiator used? if it is, the radiator you bought could be clogged. run the car with the cap off, the coolant inside should flow like a river.

compression test the cyls. see if the no.4 cyl is lower than the other 3 is it is you may have hott compression going past the head gasket and going into the water making it run hot and possibly if you run it with the cap off you may see bubbles
