Nope, thermostat has been replaced with a new 180 deg.

I can't tell exactly how hot it's running because the sensor doesn't read correctly ... not a fun thing to find out at a red light.

I tore it back down just to double check the head gaskets and they are right, did notice a couple of things though..

one of the valve locks has worked itself half way out .... good luck finding a clamp style spring compressor in the b'ham area because I sure couldn't ..

also noticed that the water pump was spinning a little too much like an idle pulley ... seems like what was suppose to be a "build up" has turned into more of a "see how many parts were on their way out".
