That sounds more like a failed head gasket than overheating to me.

What was wrong, why did you change the radiator?

Did you replace the rad with a new one or a used one?

Did you change the thermostat with a new genuine Toyota one?

86Tuning- The fins were going to crap and the side was ready to blow. Sorry for the massive lag on this thread. Running great now.
