PLEASE HELP!!!! cb7 still over heats even though i changed everything.

[beyonddalimit]

I need help with my girlfriends cb7. i changed pretty much everthing on the car.(t-stat, raidator cap, fan motor and water pump). I noticed that when i warm the car up to normal temperature, then i go ahead and check out the hoses and it seems like the bottom hose is cold and the top is hot. Can anybody help me figure it out whats wrong.

flush the cooling system, some ass-tard probably used some kinda head gasket fix in a bottle on it

T-stat bad or installed backwards? Lower hose should be hot if the car reaches normal operating temp, either that or something is blocking the coolant passages inside the head/block and your getting no coolant flow out of the block, like a stuck close t-stat.

if the temp gauage says it's good...what is there to worry about?

Have you bled the system of air?

The temperature sensor reads at the thermostat housing; in this case he's saying the lower hose is cold...which leads directly to the t-stat housing(so theoretically, if the gauge says it's operating temp, the t-stat should be open or at least cracked open). I'm assuming the thermostat is reading steam/air temp, not coolant temp.

Have you turned on the heater to see if it's hot btw? If the needle says it's at operating temp, and the air is cold even though heater is on full blast, you definitely got air in the system or low coolant.
