Ok, I am about to go insane with this project! I Installed a 10% OD pulley on my SC and I HAD to take the t-stat housing off, I could not fit any pulley puller under there. So the car began leaking from the t-stat housing (happened last time I replaced the thermostat) so I got some gasket making material and ultra copper RTV and sealed it up fairly well. I also put in a Stant 180 degree t-stat with a drilled burp hole in it. So then the heater hose began leaking and I had to remove and retighten it and I added some RTV to the seat of the hose and it stopped leaking. Well, I let the car run for about ten minutes and NOW MY TEMP. GAUGE IS UP IN THE RED!!! My fan was not running, but I am unsure at what temp it actually turns on. Should my fan be running??? Does the 180 degree t-stat have anything to do with the extreme heat??? Should I not have drilled the burp hole in it??? PLEASE give me some ideas here guys, I am ready to kick the ***** out of this car!!! Thanks for your time and help!!!!!!!!
