No, as mentioned previously in the post. Everything is new and was checked before hand. Save the rad tubes, those were from the og rad. Also, when the stat is not in I got full flow while test driving it.

Sorry for letting the thread die down. School started back up and I have been working less than desirable hours to make up for it. It is a brand new crate engine. I was using the standard 195 stat, but just recently switched down to the 180 to see if that would help compensate with whatever...
