Fresh 355 rebuild car runs perfect without a t-stat, i have replaced 3 in the past 2 weeks each time i put in a new stat the car heats up quickly. I have bled the system till i was blue in the face. The coolant boils inside the radiator with the stats and flows perfectly without one. Even when the fluid boils the hose on the passenger side of the radiator is cool to the touch?????? There is no water in the oil. Please help.

The radiator could be stopped up

Not to be an ***, but the t-stat is going in the right way right every time? Not upside down? Have to ask...

Get it warmed up, drop the cooling fans and feel the surface of the radiator. If it's plugged internally you will feel cold areas. Mine was flowing through less than half of the radiator.
