Re: overheating at idle

It's usually air flow at idle that causes heating, though. You can check the clutch by watching what happens when you turn the engine off. If it coasts for a bit, it's toast. It should stop rotating almost immediately when you shut the engine off.

I found a high flow thermostat at NAPA. The valve is much bigger than the one in the standard thermostat. It doesn't have a hole drilled any where. Check it out.
