Im rapidly running out of patience with my RST now..........

I have replaced the following....

New Radiator
New thermostat
New thermostat housing and gasket
new samco water pipes
new heater matrix
new header tank and pressure cap
New high power rad fan
New ford anti freeze
bottle water wetter
6 litres deionised water

Basically i have changed and in some cases uprated the whole coolant system, and have now removed the thermostat completly to try to help it.

The flow of water to the top of the header is not particularly strong on tick over is this normal?? Only component left to change is water pump.

And it is still running way too hot.

I am at the point now in all honesty where i have had it. The car is soooo quick when its not too hot.

What could be causing this?? I know the intercooler blocks a lot of air to the radiator but loads of people have the same as me fitted, with lower spec cooling system fitted and they still do more than twenty miles without boiling the coolant. (GRS Front mount)

Im starting to think it is a head / head gaskket related problem and that i should torch the ****ing thing, and dance around it naked uinating on it as it it perishes in flames.



I have a few options....

1) leave it on the drive for 3 weeks, get a specialised engines stage three head, kent cv35 cam and cometic gasket set and try again

2) Get an alloy rad (although i really dont think this will solve the prob)

3) Get my rad recored 90 mm wider by local firm for £80 to see if there is a major internal prob with my rad

OR....

4) Torch the ****ing thing, and dance around it naked uinating on it as it it perishes in flames.
