Clean install. Now take it on the highway, and push it hard non stop for 50 miles on the highway. the temp gauge will rise unless the airflow ducting under the vehicle is proper. simple. a rising temp gauge does not mean overheating. my car never overheated and it still has not by definition over heated. for all we know the temp gauge is reading high. It doesnt even have an actual water temp gauge- its a redtop in an S14 from 95, maybe the resistor is picking up 190*F as "hot". And yet, everybody is soooo sure thats trash, its got a warped head, etc...
nobody in this thread has even seen the car in question, nor knows anything about it and yet they are so quick to judge. everything about the engine in every respect is perfect oem stuff. Like I said already: 4 years of every day driving and 20 or 30 clean proper swaps later. I offered to get a video of the gauge on the highway and under what conditions it moves- owner refused. what more can I do? You tell me?
