well sounds like the best thing would to just buy a brand new aluminum radiator and hopefully il stay nice and cool 😎
and i changed the thermostat turns out it ended up in my cousins jacket pocket (little crook lol) and that helped but still i wana be in the best shape possible regardless of the situation if its hot outside or i decide to floor it to 100+ racing some little sh*t honda etc etc

im stumped. today i went to the junkyard and found a radiator out of what was a sooped up cutlass that looks brand new for 40 bucks thought it was a good deal and the damn car still seems like it gets hot. what i did notice though is the hose from the radiator to the engine on top is rock hard now like i got real good flow better than before(never noticed how awful my radiator was u would think it was still the original one, like one of the top rows had nothing at all) but it still got like a tic....paaa...tic sound when i shut it off very quiet and spaced out oh yea i changed the thermostat and the waterpump too since making this forum, now im starting to think the turbo engine just gets like that regardless? i dont understand whats going on i can drive for like 3 hours straight and no bad overheat but still those damn sounds maybe im just paranoid???
and another thing in your picture you got that red hose to the top part of the radiator mine has that hole and but i dont think i have anything to run to it i plugged it with a napkin lmao and it held to work and back but i know thats not gonna last lol what should i do/use and how do you wire a electric fan. are they worth it?
i thought maybe my heads are messed up too but theres never white smoke even when i first start it. im always watchin cause i feel like anyday there gonna poop on me with this damn heat problem
and one more thing
.... i noticed while sitting waiting outside somewhere i had my car running with the heat on whatever whateva and eventually the heat turned less and less hot. so i found out i have to be moving to get hot air???
i havnt been to the yard in a while i was suprised at some of the things i saw just lying around of course if i needed them they wouldnt be there

when i filled it and then started it i had to add more coolant and the receiving hose and sending hose are harder than before and can feel the water flowing could it still mean its cloged? oh and i put a hose with a thick bolt and clamps to plug it no more napkin lmao worked way better then i was thinking it would anyway
car even seems to drive better but those little noises dont stop
this car is the sweetest sh*t ever i just wanna make sure its right ... i looked up problems on like google and stuff and somethin about air pocket in it? could that be possible??
