I replaced the head gaskets and was very careful to make sure the pasenger side was on correctly. I am using Water Wetter in a 50% antifreeze mix.

After starting the car it takes about 8 - 10 minutes for the temp to go from cold starting temp to 200 degrees and continues to climb. I have replaced the water temp gauge and sending unit and used a hand held thermometer to varify the temp. I have tried this with and without a thermostat. I have also found in the past that the temps will continue to rise without a thermostat but I was wanting to see circulation, which it had. When I took my radiator off and sent it to be checked out at the rad shop I really expected my rad to be stopped up somewhere....no such luck.
My high dollar electric fan will be in tomorrow and I will see what that does for this situation.

I wonder if my high flow water pump is not allowing my radiator to work effectively, I also have March pulley's. Just because they are pretty.
