Re: Overheating

My guess would be the timing is too late - I've seen a timing tape stuck on the harmonic balancer backwards and using that the previous owner set the static timing ATDC instead of BTDC. Doesn't sound like the thermostat is in backwards but I've heard of that too. And the excess heat could be coming from the trans if you have an automatic but doesn't sound like its being driven long enough for that.
