Re: Water pump question

Update: the issue was not the water pump. Long story short, the issue ended up being the temperature sending unit and adapter bushing used to mount in the cylinder head. I used a steel bushing that was longer than the original brass bushing in my old engine. I never paid attention to the length, but the sending unit was recessed and shrouded in the bushing. I put the old unit in the head and temperature read at 180.
Thank you all for the help, it is an issue I’ll pay attention to next time for sure!
