ok u replied to my overheating problem. and i have no clue what u meant. where u sayin that if the water pump housing is all rusty and stuff inside it'll do. and is that pulley ur talking about the one for 2 belts that goes on the alternator, if so i already have it. what me not having the thermostat make a difference in the way it cools?

 

Ok, having no thermostate should not make you over heat. If anything it would make you less likly to overheat. Do you have anyproblems when just sitting at idle or anything? from the way you described it, it sounded like it only overheats when you get on it. How bad does it overheat. I mean, does the gauge just start to creep up, or does it like fly up to the H zone.

I said that it might be water pump cavetation. do you remember when you put the new water pump in, how the water pump at like little fins? the fins spin and hence make water flow through the coolant passages. well at really high rpm the water pump spins so fast those fins can actualy separate the water moleculses in to hydrogen and oxygen. so you then will have air in the coolant passages. and it will not sufficently cool your car. so your engine temperature will begin to rise.

i'll give you an example if this happening. ok, in my car, i'll do a 4th gear run. so it takes a long time for me to get up to 7800 rpm in 4th gear. so I am at high rpm 6000+ for a decnet amount of time, after about 2 minutes of that i can see my temp gauge ever so slowly start to creep upward b/c the engine is not getting cooled properly b/c of water pump cavetation. there is no longer water, but air in the coolnat passages. now not all of the water separates into hydrogen and oxygen but enough to cause a problem.

to remedy this you can get a main underdrive pulley. this slows down the speed that the engine turns the water pump i think like 15 or 20% depending on what brand you get.

does this sound like your problem? did all that make sense? if not ask some more quesitons and i'll try to help!
