Cooling system help
Poor coolant flow as you rev up more = water pump spins faster, and so does the fan clutch/fan. The britpart stat opens so it’s not a faulty stat (and britpart makes an OEM temp stat. Gotta read the actual F/C stamped on the thermostat itself to confirm). You’re gonna have some air in the system especially after just quick swapping parts. A complete cool down is overnight, when the system will automatically burp itself, then you check the bleed screw and remove what is left.
If you had a pyrex glass tube (like me) you could actually see your flow/bubbles.
Radiators are cheap, fan clutches/fan blades are cheap, but a HG job or new engine is not.
