yeah thanks... She prrr's like a kitten now. Problem is now i'm running hot. Had to put aftermarket parts in due to living on an Island and needing my wheels fast. I burped her after the coolant replacement but still running hot. Anyone have issues with Napa Thermostats?

guess i should clarify I replaced timing belt as part of water pump replacement. Used full kit from Napa and new thermostat since i was there
