Two questions:

*who rebuilt your motor
*who installed your motor and why aren't you contacting them

Did you take the coolant hose off the TB when you filled the rad with coolant/water? Still sounds like there is air in the system. What is your ratio of water/coolant?

400 miles left until the break in is over?

be careful if so...

I'm sure "MR rx7 TT" will get back with you. Did he do the rebuild and install, or just the rebuild?

R1junkie

both

Ah, I would just contact him and see what he says. I'm sure he'll be more than helpful in getting things resolved. Don't do anything else to the car until you contact him though.

what kind of gauge are you using to read the temp?
