Where are you getting this "Cooler" thermostat? I have the OEM toyota one in. I'm running dual flexalites and Around town I couldn't get the car to overheat if I wanted but on the free way it started shitting on me and over heating, So I cut holes in the Flexalite shroud in an attempt to get more air across the radiator when in motion. This helped but I still need more flow, I'm hoping the body kit fixes my problem. Other wise im gonna try cutting a few fan blades out of the flexalite and promote more movement there. I guess i'll find out soon enough.

and yeah, it really sounds like BHG, when I blew mine there was no white smoke, no white goo under the cap, no coolant in the oil, just a constant over heating and bottle draining. I was suspicious, had it block tested, and then =O nooooo! on the plus side, the list at the bottom was mostly installed during the 39 hour head gasket repair binge I went on. If my neighbors didn't think I was doing crank before they think I am now.
