ok I believe I've found the problem. One of the sensors on the thermostat housing is bad or I have some sort of short. Ran it for about an hour with no overheating issues. I will verify the sensor or wiring tomorrow.....maybe not SUPER BOWL. Well on to the next issue! Maybe the bro n law will be in town to help on the next issue....taking to long to start...but runs fine after it starts.

well got the car running pretty decent now (I guess). Now time for the little nick picky stuff. Oh...and the issue with the hard starting seems to be improper primming of the fuel. I'm still on the learning cure I guess.....thanks S.A. Supra.

well i dont see a way around pulling the motor.
after pulling everything in the front off and unbolting the t-case it doesnt budge.
i dont think anyone can pull (without breaking it) a t-case that is sandwiched between the oil pan and head torqued to 80lbs and both ends sealed with rtv.

so that is what i am doing friday after all the rain.
