Re: overheating
I doubt the IC is blocking any flow...
def.ly REPLACE the radiator cap AND t-stat, do not "inspect" it, replace it.
bleed ur radiator with the cap off, engine running with temp control at full hot. do it unitl the car warms up then cap it.
or may be the fan ur using is not moving enough air. make sure it is compatable with stock fan CFM rating.

Re: overheating
wwell u prob dont want to hear this but if your headgasket is starting to go you normaly have this problem aswell...
fill the rad leave the cap off and run the engine to get all the air out, if it doesnt stop bubling thats it.
also rev the engine and see if u get a lot of bubles out of it, you will get coolant out if its ok but watch for air.
finaly you could get the kit that detects ehaust gasses in your cooling system but mine was kinda exspensive

Re: overheating
the thermostate only really is there to just get your car to warm up in the winter right? so if you remove it, you should get a lot more flow right?

Re: overheating
no not really...because doesnt the valve open when it reaches a certain temperature? well haveing that always open wont let it get to that initial temperature...it will just let it go through
how does it not cool it down "quick enough" ?
and isnt it better if it is always running so that it can go through the radiator, cool down, then go back in the block?
