All back together but having issues with getting too hot. Did final flush w/ distilled, drained all hoses, and then filled w/ Porsche mix following Bentley instructions. Drove several cycles with bleed open close to home to manage temperature but it was heading hot. Closed the bleed and again drove several cycles close to home and still getting hot but does not lose coolant.

I'm suspecting a bad new t-stat. Or could it be trapped air?

I still have the under body panel removed for access and I reached under after it cooled for ~30min and the large hose exiting the block is warm and the large hose entering the water pump is almost room temperature. Any ideas? I plan the get it warm again and then on ramps to check the large hoses again while still very warm. Once again thanks for any advice.
