So I have been battling this issue for a few weeks now. I have done:
-multiple coolant flushes
-washed out the radiator
-replaced the thermostat with a 160 Edelbrock high flow from the 180 that was in there
-installed a high-flow water pump.
Sitting and idling, she continuously rises in temperature up until 230-240F until I shut her off. I have tried driving around to see if airflow helps but it just gets hotter and hotter.
I am currently hunting for a 7 blade straight replacement fan to replace the crappy plastic one I have currently. I am hoping it will go well with my custom shroud and radiator. The rad looks fairly new so I am at a loss here. Is my block maybe plugged somewhere?
