This is what I have done. Replaced thermostat and all hose pipes Had new core fitted in radiator and new cap. Removed water pump and checked and looks ok Removed cylinder head and had unleaded conversion and overhauled. Flushed engine with hose pipe and also with cleaning fluid. I thought it must be the thermal sensor to the temperature gauge so replaced it with an electrical one and a new gauge. This now shows 120 degrees - far too hot! So what can it be? I have ordered a new water pump as I believe these have quite critical tolerances but if that doesn't fix it I am Stumped. Please read what I have done before commenting. Thanks
