You probably need a pressure cap too. Check the thermostat by putting it a pot of water on the stove. Heat that water and watch for the thermostat to open. I use a thermometer, a meat thermometer works, as does a candy thermometer to check the water temperature. The thermostat should open before the water boils for sure, and it should say a temperature on the thermostat and it ought to be quite a bit open at that temperature. Probably 180 though it could be 160. Then I check the new one the same way, its too much trouble to change a thermostat and find the new one is faulty. When you've cleaned it all up put in 50/50 antifreeze and water. That has a higher boiling point than plain water. Gerald J.
