Overheating!!!!
ok so we picked up this smooth running fc for 950 bucks and its in GREAT cosmetic shape. guy swapped the radiator with a race aluminum radiator and it started overheating. we change the thermostat, thermostat cap, water pump, coolant temperature sensor, coolant flush, and still giving us issues. i dont think its the coolant seal, no funny coolant pressure or discoloration. the reservoir boils over, and overheats at idle. still overheats at highway speeds, but slowly, and temperature is extremely sporadic. we got all the air out of the lines also. someone please help, this car is in too good of condition for something like this to happen.

When the reservior boils over, are you sure that it isn't due to exhaust gases entering the cooling system? This seems to be the most common failure on FCs once they start overheating.
