I just finished installing a new cam, doubleroller chain, 160 thermostat, and crank pulley.. i started it up and everything seemed fine...

I started adding coolant and noticed that there didnt seem to be any flow from that tube near the cap.. but the level kep dropping so I kept adding...

I the started bubbling up and overflowing...

I checked the guages..

the temp started climbing like crazy... I have an aftermarket temp guage that made it to and sat on 220... the stock guage was pegged out..

I checked around and noticed that i had damaged the stock water temp sensor..

Could it possibly be just that sensor? I'm pretty damn sure that I hooked up all the tubes correctly to the waterpump..

Mine did that too...

The fix, let it completely cool down, add more fluid and start it again.

You probably had air pockets in the engine...
