[Shotimes] Cooling system woes

[Shylo McKinsey]

It just sounds as if your radiator is not completely
filled yet. Yes, you have a reservoir, but (atleast

I had to fill the radiator too, along with the res.
before everything settled down and worked right. It is
possible that you got the wrong temp-rated t-stat.
