Well, disapointting results tonight. put the Stat back in with a hole drilled in it, still overheating at the head sender. Maybe it will improve over time, not sure. I have the heater running full blast too, I can see the heater bypass hose is working when I look down into the radiator, as its pouring water in.

The water pump I got is a AC Delco professional model.

The stat is a Stant Superstat - 195 degree.

For now I am going to run it a little more without touching it, maybe its air that will work out. If no improvement I am going to try a 180 degree stat, hoping it will open sooner and get the head cooled off sooner. NOt really what I want to do but willing to try it.
