I have a ford 2000 3 cyl diesel that blew a head gasket. Replaced the gasket and reassembled using new gaskets all the way around and installed a 172° thermostat. Refilled the coolant with new 50/50 antifreeze, and now the motor will not stay cool. Under load (plowing snow) at 1800 rpm the temperature needle runs right on the edge of the red area for a while and then eventually goes into the red and I shut it down. Any advise? Weak water pump? Faulty new thermostat? Clogged cooling passage? Im stumped. Also, is there anyway to flush your coolant system on your own?
