Got a doozy of an issue here. 2007 ford edge 3.5 v6. Water pump failed dumped coolant in the oil etc. water pump and timing kit was replaced engine cleaned out. Couple days later it starts overheating. Fans are working, so I replaced the thermostat with 180 t stat from Napa. Still will get above 230. Flushed the system and refilled it and while driving it stays at 210-225. When you pull over and idle it gets up to 232 fans are working seemingly well. Vent temp for the heat was 138-140. Not all the vents seem to work correctly but the one that does blows hot air. Vehicle passed a block test multiple times, oil is clean no exhaust smoke. Seems to not overheat anymore but definitely runs a higher temp than I think it should. Bled the system of air as well. Not sure where to go from here? If anyone can offer any insight I’d greatly appreciate it.
