Arggh, keeps overheating! *Update 8/13
I am trying to start up this stupid engine that I took out of an old Nova. After all of the many things wrong with getting this thing fired up I get it going and it just keeps getting warmer and warmer until the gauge is hitting redline. It doesn't heat up real fast, just a nice, progessive pain in the @$$. I have been keeping the radiator cap off because I was putting more water in there as it got sucked up into the motor. When I shut it off the water went shooting out, not to mention it was dieseling like crazy. I have it set to 10 degrees.
I took out the thermostat thinking maybe that could be the culprit, no hoses are kinking, I bought a new temperature sensor, I believe the gauge is working right and I also believe that i have it hooked up correctly. What am I doing wrong and what can I do to fix it? I am very frustrated!
