Over heating below 3000rpm

[Tippey764]

So i tested out the car on the highway after bleeding the system today. It didnt overheat anymore or any of the other weird problem ( reving the engine while cold still makes it cool down though? )

Anyways thanks guys.

...I think you should check ur temps of both cooling hoses. Report back.

But if its not overheating then why?

to make sure the operation of the thermostat is working.

I had the same problem as far as the long warm up times are concerned with my CB7 last winter. I removed the thermostat, and the rubber gasket had become brittle, and a chunk of it broke-off, and became wedged in the thermostat seat, causing it to remain partially opened at all times. But as someone else has already said, spend the few extra bucks and use the oem thermostat. I replaced mine since I was already there, and its a cheap part, but it was still working, and it was 17 years old. You wont get 5 years from an aftermarket thermostat.

That test only works if the thermostat is stuck closed, or if there's blockage in the radiator.

Not entirely solved, if revving the engine still makes the temp gauge drop. Still points to a thermostat which is stuck open. It is possible, to have multiple problems in a particular system, that can possibly represent themselves as one. I didn't see anyone post any solutions to his overheating problem, after he stated that he got it worked out.
