Re: Radiator overheating already

Another thought, I have seen the intake manifold gaskets placed backwards!
This will plug up the passage in the front of the cylinder head and not let the water circulate out of the head and back into the rad.
To check, remove the thermostat and look into both heads and see it they are open where the intake manifold meets the head in the water passage.
Just a thought!
