The cooling system gremlin has been evicted... it was a combination of air pockets and either a bad thermostat or a backwards thermostat.... we (Andrew & I) don't know for sure because the thermostat jumped out when I went in for it as hot coolant poured out and the flange below the thermostat blocked my view. The car now maintains operating temp with the 14" fan running even driving around the parking lot.

I'm going to put the car back together a bit tomorrow and Saturday so I can break it in on Saturday.

I don't think the t-stat will fit backwards.
