Paul, sounds like you got any air trapped, out of it.,
and that the thermo is working. If you have the thermo out anyway, it
won't hurt to drill that hole.. Maybe it is just from breaking in.
Many years ago , we built an engine for my sons
Nova. That thing would push water out and boil . We tried everything
we could think of with no success. We came to the conclusion that with all the
pressure pushing the water out, that we had a head gasket leak or crack in the
head. Removed the heads and could not find any problem . New gaskets and
heads back on ---same problem. Finally bit the bullit and put in a three
core radiator--problem solved.
Lot of things it could be --have a radiator
shroud? Does it have flaps missing that directs all air thru the
grill and then thru the radiator? ....Good
Luck!!.....................MO

Don't think it was air locked. I let it run with the cap
off until it was clearly circulating indicating that the stat was open.
I took it out and drove it around town a little never getting too far
from home. The temp came up to about 3/4 on the gauge and stayed there.
But with the 160 stat it should not have been that high so I came home
and let it idle a little. The gauge never came down so I shut it off and
waited awhile, then checked the radiator and was able to add about 1 or two
quarts of water. Then took it back out and drove it for a few blocks
again with the same result. When I would pull back into the driveway and
shut it off it would be percolating and steaming a little. It would push
about a quart of coolant into the overflow canister and then after a little
bit pull it back into the radiator.
I've got an infrared heat gun but did not check temp between upper and
lower hose. I also thought about drilling a small hole into the flange
of the thermostat but didn't. When I have it apart tomorrow I definitely
will.

I spent the last two days dropping my 440 back into the Sport
Fury. It has been sitting for the last 14 months due to a detonation
problem and a broken piston. The long time lapse was due to a
machinist who had it for more than eight months without doing any work on
it. So I finally just went and picked it up. Rich K. and Dodger
recommended a machinist who is a Mopar guy, but he is also busy.
The top land broke off of one piston and upon inspection discovered
that, that had produced a big dent in the cylinder wall, which could result
in a crack. So it was recommended to sleeve that cylinder, which then
means the others have to be bored. As it was explained to me the
cylinders adjacent to the sleeved one get distorted in the process so they
need to be bored to bring them back to round so all the others need to be
bored as well.
But at last it is ready. As luck would have it the weather is
cooperating and it hasn't been too cold in my unheated garage. So if
everything goes to plan I should be able to fire it up tomorrow. And
the weatherman is forecasting temps in the 50's for the next couple days so
I might even be able to go for a bit of a cruise. Wish me
luck.
