Ok folks-

I've received lall your inputs.

Here's where I am:  

Car guage read 1/2 before engin rebuilt.
Timming is perfect.
Installed brand new 180 degree thermostat.
The water pump was replaced two years ago....brand new...less than 400
miles.
Radiator was plugged.  It was flushed and fixed today (Car still
overheats!!)


Things I don't know and remain:

1-Cam timing.
2-Going to try a new radiator cap tomorrow.
2-Is it possible the wrong headgasket is installed?....like a early TR6
that just happens to fit.  Or the correct one installed in reverse,
plugging the water flow holes?...is that possible?...it has to be...I
can't think of anything else, overheating this car.

Thanks-
Pouya
