Ah the lovely sign of SUMMER.  I am going through this now mit mom's V8.
Overheat condition -- drain coolant, replace thermostat, replace fan clutch,
replace steaming hot water control valve (what a B!tch), and still she's
getting up to 118 degrees.  Drain coolant again and replace thermostat with
gutted thermostat -- same situation.  Will attempt radiator flush, but am
guessing hopelessly clogged and probably in need of replacement.

And what lovely weather to work on your car when it's 90+ and almost just as
humid...

Ingo
