Ryan, installing the thermostat can be a little aggravating. NAPA has the sticky gaskets with the peel off paper, keeps it from sliding out of place. I plugged the bypass's and drilled a couple of 1/8 holes in the top of the thermostat. Shrouded cooling fan(s) also help. If it keeps heating after these steps, you have a another problem?.
