Surchin,

Sorry to hear about this...

After having all that work done to your motor, I would definitely make sure you have a working temp gauge.

First thing I would do is take it back to the shop that did the work. I would also double check to make sure that thermostat is good. Maybe you got a bad one? Maybe the wrong one? Just because it's new doesn't mean it's not bad.

Skools, Ferm, or Spare will likely have a better idea of what you ought to check for, but like I said, the first step I would take is going back to the shop that did the work.

I hope it all works out for you...
