This is a long block that I got. By the way I believe I might have found the issue. I removed the thermostat all together and it ran for about 20 minutes just in the garage idling. It never got any hotter than 178 to 180. So do I assume I had 2 bad thermostats? I may just run it without one.
The car has no heater and I never drive it in the winter. In fact I think I drive it about 15 times a year lol.
I hope this was it!
