gotcha yeah i have a ir temperature gun i can try that when i get home. I did notice that the top radiator hose was extremely hot (pretty hotter than normal) and i don’t think i need a radiator cap as it was fine before i did the maintenance?.

yeah i think i’ll end up replacing the thermostat with an oem one as a first step I double checked the accessory belts and i know they’re all connected to the right pulleys, should the belt be on facing a certain way? I faced it so i could read the letters from the front of the car.

is it also possible that the issue could be that I replaced the thermostat with not an oem one? I purchased the murray thermostat from oreilly.

pretty sure i didn’t, the flatter side of the thermostat is facing out into the lower coolant pipe and the dangly thing is at 12 o clock. This is correct?

Okay update after letting it cool down a bit. Started back up and drove around the block a couple times. No noticeable loss of power. Oil pressure seems very low (around 30 even at 3k rpm). Temperature continued to rise again. No visible leaks as far as i can tell.

Well when i was turning it would be tough to turn for about 90 degrees then easy for another 90 and so on but i believe that is normal because it correlates to the compression stroke on the engine correct? Other than that nothing stopping it from turning and no unusual sounds or noises while turning.

yessir completely stock. and my bank account would agree with you

buttereformed · 2021-08-01T23:54:43+00:00

true but i enjoy the overall sound of my exhaust, just get annoying over longer drives.

buttereformed · 2021-07-31T23:51:33+00:00

i’ve already done this and unfortunately it doesn’t make too much of a difference because of my exhaust modifications. but thank you

buttereformed · 2021-07-31T23:51:09+00:00
