My ride overheated and then suddenly went back to normal . Ok , thermostat. Changed to another , same thing. Replaced the 190 with a 180 , same thing. Fix on taking the radiator to have it rodded out and patched . Water pump looks fairly new and this has only been a problem since it warmed up. Any suggestions ?

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.

I would advise against a rod and patch. A new radiator doesn't cost that much.
