Hi Guys,

Thanks for all the great information.

This weekend when I have some time, I figure I'll pull the thermostat sending unit. Hopefully I'll see something that might be causing the blockage, sure would beat having to pull the head off.

I will also check the timing to make sure it’s where it's supposed to sit.

Radiator is new with a 3 row core so I think that is covered, regarding the water pump, I’m not sure of the design but the motor was completely rebuilt less that 5000 miles ago, so the pump is new. The previous owner also installed an auxiliary electric fan in front of the radiator, but I have yet to hear it kick on.

Maybe a good backflush is also in order as I have yet to do that.

Ill keep you informed of my progress.

Cheers
Rob
