I have had a 86 mr2 for several years and have been dealing with a overheating problem. I change engine and had some relief, but now the problem is back. I have taken the thermostat out to no avail. I have coolant running up the air bleeder valve hose to the recovery bottle and filling up completely. I took the hose off the recovery bottle and attach it directly to the host inlet on the radiator water filler cap. The car is not overheating with that change, (why is that?)even thou I know it is wrong, it gives me a little peace for running around the hood.
ps: things i have change
1. Head Gasket change on first engine
1. Radiator
2.thermostat
3. another engine

any help wound be welcome
