Well I took the thermostat out this morning of the engine. Ran it and the temp hardly gets over 150 degrees on both my laptop and also on the guage. This means to me I have an issue with air pockets in the engine or the T-stats (2) i have had are not working correctly. GOing to boil a T-stat in water today and see what happens.

I think my plan now is to drill a small hole in the T-stat to vent air and see if it helps.
