Bump...

Tail between my legs...new radiator did not fix this. I have a pressure tester and the tank cap pumped up to 15 PSI and it's back at zero in about 5 min. Not sure it would cause the car to run steady at 3/4. I would think it would eventually over heat which it never does.

I must be up to at least $600 or $700 on this damn issue...

My old tstat is a 71C unit and is closed at 70C and not fully open until 95C...just about the same temp the car is running at now with the 80C. I put the same size spacer in the car as the one that came out. Inlet side of radiator is warm, outlet side cold, bottom hose cold. Sounds like a tstat doesn't it? How can I test it while the car is running? I have a cheap IR thermometer.
