The car has no AC or power steering. its just got an alternator (new), fan, and a water pump. The pulleys appear stock. I do not have a fan shroud installed but the new clutched fan is pulling tons of air. I also don't have the hood to radiator seal but I haven't even gotten to driving it really.
At idle, the engine heats steadily up to 220 and hotter if i let it. The water pump has only a few miles on it but its probably 10 years old.I just ran it again and thought I'd check flow. I opened the cap once the temp was past 180 and the coolant flow was very slow. I think I will try a new water pump tomorrow.
I'll be super annoyed if the head gaskets were installed wrong and coolant ports are blocked off.
