I just changed the timing chain and gears, the gaskets for the cover and water pump, a new thermostat, and a new radiator cap. I started it up and drove it about 200 feet and it started to overheat (redline). I touch the hoses and they are hot and it seems like there is alot of pressure. Any advice?
I would suspect a bad out of the box Thermostat or possible air in the cooling system. Test the Thermostat on a stove to insure it is working correctly and burb the cooling system again to purge all air from the system.
