Check your radiator hoses for excessive pressure, because sometimes a blown headgasket doesnīt eat coolant it just pushes compression into it making an air pocket in the system and causing a no flow situation. Iīve seen it on two of my engines....

If you buy a new thermostat there should be a little hole in it to bypass some fluid even when itīs closed, I recomend drilling one more hole on the opposite side(makes it esier to bleed out any air in the system)

Then you might want to replace the radiator, I donīt know how it is in the US but here in sweden they replace cellpackage and reuse your old sides. so you should not have to search to hard for a new radiator.

These engines produce a lot of heat so the standard gasser radiator is not a good choise...
