You still haven't answered if it cools off while moving.

Have you done a block test yet?

no its on the bottom driver side, with the drain plug on the pass side.

as far as cooling when its moving. The car stays at 210 or so until most of the water is gone then the temp will shot up and the only thing that helps it then is to let it cool down and add more water.

So far everything I have done to the car is as follows

1) Block test= pass
2) compression test on cylinders= 150-160
3) new radiator
4) water pump has been replaced twice
5) t-stat has been replaced twice 160*
6) all hoses have been replaced
7) new overflow tank
8)new temp sending unit
9)switch on fans and replaced relays (fans will come on with a/c and for a
minute or so when the gauge is reading a little of 210)
10) flushed the system filled back with a 50/50 mix
11) new radiator cap (tried a pressure relief and standard style 18# cap)

I have also made sure that anytime work has been done to the system I would bleed it to make sure the air is out of the system. I would let the car run and wait for the t-stat to open and top it back off.

If there is anything someone thinks I have missed or may have done wrong let me know. This is kicking my butt and starting to be expensive
