Changed blown head gasket and thermostat on 1988 Toyota Corolla AE82 but still overheating any suggestions.?

I have also added all coolant without water.Changed blown head gasket and thermostat on 1988 Toyota Corolla AE82 but still overheating any suggestions.?Full coolant doesn't run cooler than 50/50 the only problem running full water is rust and corrosion and that's why I don't run full water cause I would. Does it overheat mostly in traffic or in highway use also? If the thermostat is good then if heating up while in traffic mostly then Id say it is probably the cooling fans and if in highway use the I would say the Water pump is probably bad. On another note be sure to replace your radiator cap, they are designed to hold pressure and raises the coolant boiling point and a bad cap can add 40 degrees to the temperature.

You change the water pump, and the hoses, as the inlet hose can collapse when it old, from the suction of the water pump. Also, get the cooling system pressure checked. If it jumps up really fast, that means that the radiator has a clog on it. Also get the radiator cap tested as well, if it don't hold pressure, is a possibility that it can over heat from that as well.

The radiator will be partially blocked - guaranteed.

It needs to go to a rad shop where they will take it apart and rod out the concretions in the tubes and it will come back looking like new and tested with a 12 month warranty.
your radiator is restricted causing overheat,dont send to rad shop and spend 75 dollars go to autozone and spend 100 dollars for a new one the rad that came in your car is plastic,the one you buy will be metal much better rad
dude bin there done that ,change the thermo fan switch and knock the centre of the thermostat out then all is good,and if that dont fix it get the radiator cleaned


ild say maby it was your water pump that went that caused your blown head gasket
